Clothes.....was: Re:MSers] Wierd feeling

[Guest guest]

33 Lbs!!! Wow, that's awesome!!! Last time I bought clothes was middle of last year, I got 3 "hiphop" t-shirts on eBay, they're, like 5x and huge, since I'm such a shorty they are almost a dress for me. I can't find the two blue ones but I am wearing the black one as we speak! Know how I *wish* I could dress? In a sari. I think the Indian woman's dress is SO feminine. I *do* wear bindi's from time to time though... Hugs Akiba -- Re: Wierd feeling I might have some tops. I'll have to look through my closet. I went on low carb last October and lost 33 lbs in6 weeks. I got rid of most of my clothes that were too big, then I "fell off the low carb wagon". I haven't gained much, just a few lbs. I need to get back to it. I will go through my stuff. (if you seriously would like them. ) Hugs, Trista~~~~~~~~~~~And he said unto me, MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE;FOR MY STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS. Re: Wierd feeling Trista and Cassie,You two are not alone in the sensations you've been feeling. Cassie, I know you haven't been diagnosed as of yet, but Trista I can't remember if you have been or not (I have brain warts ya know? and those warts leave holes that cause my memory to leak like a sieve...lol)But I wanted to tell you that you are definitely not alone... I've had the feeling of goosbumps, and it's usually on my legs, at least that's where I remember them to have been. I get the feeling that I've spilled hot something on the top of my right foot from time to time as well.The goosebumpy feeling is weird and the burning is painful and quite annoying, because nothing stops it... but the most awful sensation I think I get is the "phantom itch".. well maybe it's a toss up between the "phantom itch" and the big toe of my right foot playing "reach for the stars"...The phantom itch causes damage.. because sometimes I scratch or rub, until I've got a blister and/or the blister has been scratched open.. Though we have figured out that the phantom itch is actually some other place on my body that does really have an itch.. and if we find it, and scratch it.. the phantom itch will go away... trick is finding the spot that actually does itch!I've found nothing to cure the "reach for the stars" thing... well the baclofen did stop it for awhile.. but I'm noticing now, like last night, that it didn't work, and I even took the THIRD 10mg pill to see if it would help. It didn't. Though I think I remember putting a blanket on my leg, and when the leg & foot got good and warm, it seemed to ease the spasm a bit..Oh, and have you noticed, (don't know whether it will make a difference for you guys or not) that your numbness, wherever you have it, and sometimes some spots where you don't, get worse or appears when you eat anything with MSG in it?I can't eat Chinese food anymore (because our Chinese Take-Outs all use MSG), and I've had to give up on that Cheese Wiz stuff in the spray can and Summer Sausage as well.. a few types of soup (that I can't remember, but will the next time I eat it) as well as a couple of types of TV dinners.. mmm.. I know which ones of those. Swanson or Banquet, whichever is in the red box.. Salisbury Steak dinner.. but I can eat a Hungry Man Salisbury Steak TV Dinner without a problem... go figure...Well I've rattled enough this morning.. got my pills shoveled in.. have to inject yet.. and read the rest of the emails that have piled up...maybe reply to a few, before I start again with the major house overhaul.. just looked at me last night when he got home from work and saw ALL the stuff that was piled on the bed... He said.. I wouldn't have put it on the bed.. I'd have... I said yeah.. well you aren't moving the stuff around while sitting on the floor either are you? LOL.. the easiest place to put it to get it out of my way, IS on the bed... We have way way way way too many clothes for any one person to wear.. but during the summer months, (before the Copaxone) we tended to buy a whole lot of clothes, because he worked way too many hours and was too tired for laundry and I wasn't able to do the laundry... so if you want clean clothes.....Had to do the same thing when we both worked for Charter.. One of their strategies to get me to quit was to schedule EVERY one of our days off... apart from each other... NO ONE could go to the laundromat (we lived in an apartment then, without laundry facilities).. so had, honest to goodness.. 4 and one half weeks worth of "caual dress" clothes (not to mention undies, t-shirts & socks).. dress shirts & dress slacks.. hanging in the closest.. Needless to say... the habit of buying clothes when they are on sale cheapcheap has stuck... now I've got wall to wall clothes in the bedroom!!! ... well today they are wall to wall clothes strung from the bedroom to the laundry room as I wash & dry them.. dispose of no longer useful stuff and hang or fold the wearable stuff and try to find drawer space to put it all away... I really don't think there is drawer space enough on our WHOLE street!! ROFL...Take Care|)onna
