So my right calf muscle has been giving me a bit of grief for 2 days now, started on Thursday. At first I thought it was just because I’d done something to it, but it felt better on Friday morning. For about an hour, and then it came back again. Last night it was really quite uncomfortable and I wondered what would happen this morning after waking up. Same thing; it was OK for a short period, probably no more than half an hour, then it started to get sore again.

So I started to think about an hour ago as to what it could be. I figured it might be something MS related, so did a Google for that to see whether cramp, which is what it really feels like, could be an MS symptom. And of course, it could be.

I’m fully aware I’m having a relapse, it’s just a pain in the arse that I’m getting symptoms that I’ve not had before, that being the swallowing and now the cramp in my leg. Needless to say, a variety of my other symptoms are around too, not least the balance issues and I’ve had problems with my hands over the past few days too.
