I have to say that November was a really tough month for me. It started with my husband being sent overseas for two weeks. I know that is not awful, but it is the first time in 4 years we have been apart and we are newlyweds, so it was hard.
While he was gone, my 4 year older daughter started having night terrors. I have to say they are the freakest, scariest thing I have ever seen. In addition while he was gone my MS started acting up and I lost my sight in one eye, which in turned required an interocular injection (that is when they stick an needle directly into your eyeball and inject steroids). Sorry if that made you cringe.
Then to finish off the month on Friday morning I woke up and didn't have use of my right leg. The pain our boardline torturous and it could not bare any weight at all. That made going to the bathroom interesting. :D
Now it is December, I woke up this morning my leg is doing a lot better, I assume the muscle spasm under my knee has passed and I can see again, so the only place to go from here is UP! Right?
How was your November?

My November hasn't been too great, though not as bad as yours.
(And yes, your eyeball needle DID make me cringe, and shudder... several times.)
I felt rather depressed a lot of the month, and cried a fair few times. - I've also been extremely stressed out- to the point where i fell ill from a stressed and worn out (weakened basically) immune system.
And to top that off, to start this month- I've been having Asthma problems for the past week.- To the point where I'm struggling to get to sleep (i got about 3 hours and a half last night)...
My asthma is causing me to panic- in turn, my asthma gets worst, so i panic more. It's one big frigging evil circle. I keep feeling like i need fresh air, but then I'm afraid not to be around people, in case i have an attack. (I've only had one attack in my life you see- i was 4 years old so i don't remember it, but I've always been weary... (Taking my inhaler whenever I've felt my breathing get tighter...) Plus i take it once in the morning one of a night so...
I don't know what an attack is like, so i won't know when to take my inhaler, so I'll suffocate myself haha. (I've always been a hazard to myself :P)...

I was diagnosed with Asthmas when I was 14, I was on top of a mountain I had just climbed, then, no more breathing. It is a scarey feeling and I understand why you take precaustions to make sure it won't happen again.
I feel the same way about always having to be around people just in case something happens so I am not alone (this is more driven by the MS then anything else). I completely understand and you are not alone. :D
