So the last 2 weeks have been interesting. The main thing that has been happening is that my medication is changing. I’ve gone from Gabapentin to pregabalin.

I’m in the early stages of pregabalin at the moment at the moment. The dosage is gradually being increased. Since I started taking it I started getting a strange feeling.

The feeling was really hard to describe. It was like my head started to get a little less foggy and it didn’t take as long to understand things.

It took a bit of time but I eventually realised that the weird thing I was feeling was me feeling normal. It’s been that long since I felt normal I forgot what it felt like. The problem with feeling normal though was that the pain, dizziness and wobbliness was there too. And they are here big time. The wobbliness has been pants recently. When walking round I feel like I’ve spent the day drinking and I’m stumbling round like an alchy. Walking into door frames and falling against walls, it’s annoying and I end up getting so frustrated with myself.

If for a reason I close my eyes when I’m stood up I can’t stand still. I’m swaying and wobbling all over the place. If I have to move my head quickly (like you might do while having a conversation, nodding and stuff like that) I go dizzy and lose my balance.

The other day I actually went arse over tit while I was in the craft shop. I was trying to look at something on a low shelf and someone wanted to get past so I straightened up to get out the way and I kept going until I ended up sat of the floor. Luckily through the person I fell over in front of was one of my friends from knitting. She checked if I was ok (I was just embarrassed) we both had a laugh and carried on with what ever we were doing.

I said I was ok and I was, well nothing I couldn’t get over with the help of some ibuprofen. I was a bit achey later on but I wasn’t sure if that was down to the fall or just the normal aches and pains. Either way I’ll just keep plodding along.

So here are the tangles and tiles I’ve done:

• 

• 

• 

The other day I decided that I wanted to bring all my tiles together in one place. That way it would make it easier to see what tiles I have and to choose one to use. So I made a box to put them in.

Do you think I need some more?

I’ve made a couple of cards as well:

• 

• 

• 

• 

It’s was the monthly MS Social last week and a month or two back they decide they wanted to do a craft night and make a Christmas card.

So I spent the last couple of weeks getting things prepared so it would be easy to do a card that looked good. So Tuesday night was a craft night where everyone made a pyramage card.

That’s where the card is layered one bit on top of the next, and each layer smaller than the last. id done all the cutting of the layers so all people had to do was to build the card. Started off with a layer of gold mirri card and then built up the layers of the picture on top.

Everyone that was there joined in and they seemed to have a good time and the cards they made all looked great.

I also made a note book for mum that she could use to keep track of her knitting and where she was up to in the pattern and stuff like that.

I left the pages loose in this one then they could be taken out easily if need be.

I also received the last tile swap. It was a lovely tile from Rose Ball

The other thing I suppose I should mention is about a story I’m reading at the moment.

The story is called The Amazing Son-in-law. It started off with one of this free click bate stories that you see on Facebook. I don’t normally pay that much attention to them but for some reason I started reading it. There were a few chapters on that site and it ended with a bit of a cliff hanger and me being me wanted to know what happens next. So I went digging and found more of the story on another site so I’m just working my way through that at the moment.

It is a story set somewhere in china about a guy that was poor and married to a woman for a successful family. The guy is bullied by his wife family. It turns out that he is an heir of a very successful upperclass family. He has billions in a private bank account and owns one of the biggest companies in the area he lives. He still plays the poor guy and starts get screw over anybody that was or is mean to him.

Also in the story he ends up getting some sort of anxiety superpowers where he becomes a feng shui master and healer and has awesome knowledge and things like that.

It’s one of those rubbish stories thats also really good at the same time. From reading it you can tell that it has been translated from Chinese because of the language in some parts of it isn’t that great but it’s one of those stories that you want to know what happens next. So at the moment I’m up to chapter 260. And I can guarantee that I will probably read more before I go to sleep so on that note I’m back off to china to read more about Master Marvin Ye.

Love and light
