I have no medical knowledge, and everything I share is based on personal reflection. I always consult with my doctor before trying anything new, and I strongly recommend that others do the same. Everyone’s experience is different, and what works for me might not work for you—it could even cause significant problems. With that said:</p><p>Lets talk about Muscle Spasms (a very common symptom) </p><p>This summer in the desert was extremely hot, and unfortunately, the heat really impacts my MS. During the summer this year, I pretty much hid in the house. But because running the air conditioning 24/7 is so expensive, I had to keep it set fairly high.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX2XjyfR-KigKD5SX-E0o5ZIpIe3mXJAYbQ5jpea2gKxPipxI-a2giNTmqo6seiVj_yG2yafDgsA74p8gtsl5x2LUcDBqxsZ4nZUioVvsc3kFDt4C4F85PoNDFFUHhjDhlqNLR9kKjkzjydU5Bzt_SoontZYc70julgIrcDMEKxil4APcRDJD5cnObqRg/s1024/copilot_image_1732121800443.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="1024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhX2XjyfR-KigKD5SX-E0o5ZIpIe3mXJAYbQ5jpea2gKxPipxI-a2giNTmqo6seiVj_yG2yafDgsA74p8gtsl5x2LUcDBqxsZ4nZUioVvsc3kFDt4C4F85PoNDFFUHhjDhlqNLR9kKjkzjydU5Bzt_SoontZYc70julgIrcDMEKxil4APcRDJD5cnObqRg/s320/copilot_image_1732121800443.jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">(this image not my artwork or photography created with copilot)</td></tr></tbody></table><p>I noticed a lot more tremors this summer, especially at night, and much more muscle spasms, even in my face and neck. I’m not sure how many others with MS experience these, but they are some of my most hated symptoms.  I am now enjoying the coolness of fall but MS symptoms don't change as fast as the weather.</p><p>Fortunately, I can take a muscle relaxant at night which helps a little, but not enough to sleep. And worse, what do I do during the day? I work full-time plus, so it’s not an option to take something sedating. Typing for work or on my days of painting, crafting, etc., triggers them in my hands.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzypS0l4UQK86R1U1zKlwrHqyUhb3FMweOlEsFJR0iSt6n8hkD2rwJH4FRczilfZ9KLOl8uoQo3lZhGjyqFhoZ6LfOb9AGnvbAivogNzzh6a2sp9TW5r0j2pvVnDo87L0Wa0slAMYpnCHcVz8II6uAaI-P-RxI-m9yoRhzmZUWTzoWXkHl1f_laUCA3Khz/s4000/crafts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzypS0l4UQK86R1U1zKlwrHqyUhb3FMweOlEsFJR0iSt6n8hkD2rwJH4FRczilfZ9KLOl8uoQo3lZhGjyqFhoZ6LfOb9AGnvbAivogNzzh6a2sp9TW5r0j2pvVnDo87L0Wa0slAMYpnCHcVz8II6uAaI-P-RxI-m9yoRhzmZUWTzoWXkHl1f_laUCA3Khz/s320/crafts.jpg" width="144" /></a></div><p>Then a friend introduced me to **Tiger Balm**, available almost everywhere including Walmart. It is a lifesaver! But it smells and will burn certain area if you accidentally touch them; Eyes, for example, but any sensitive areas will be a big problem, so be careful. I use rubber gloves when applying to legs, etc. Unfortunately, I have spasms in my hands, so I then use it directly and just exercise extreme caution about what I touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqG-MVIbQ06j5VYKc57Avjaw0LzK9QCekTwOts3Cuv2XQX37H15v1_bSShVXqYFcqLO13lCOMqQIRsfUnqvz5cVQrtmf5X_gTKYN5VexHybtk5yfo0SatkGr44II_DxuXxH1jxXJgYVYtR6GTUP5l4h8vNWxiShNheXk7Wd-KqnMDNzjG0gCGYx4NlSAN/s1800/tb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1576" data-original-width="1800" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidqG-MVIbQ06j5VYKc57Avjaw0LzK9QCekTwOts3Cuv2XQX37H15v1_bSShVXqYFcqLO13lCOMqQIRsfUnqvz5cVQrtmf5X_gTKYN5VexHybtk5yfo0SatkGr44II_DxuXxH1jxXJgYVYtR6GTUP5l4h8vNWxiShNheXk7Wd-KqnMDNzjG0gCGYx4NlSAN/s320/tb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I don't like feeling cold at all, so I dislike the common well-known muscle rubs (not naming their brands but their name has "Ice" right in it) or anything that gives you that cold sensation. While Tiger Balm will give you a burning sensation like those others, it is a warm feeling which works really well for me.</p><p>In addition to checking with your doctor, always test for allergies before applying anything new all over. And even more importantly, if you have allergies, check the ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, I have found recipes for making your own, but I have never tried it. I would love to hear if anyone has or if you have had really good experiences with relieving those horrible cramps.  Here is a link: <a href="https://www.thesunshinehustle.com/making/diy-tiger-balm">https://www.thesunshinehustle.com/making/diy-tiger-balm</a>  to one if you want to try it yourself and I will also report back if I decide to purchase the ingredients and try it myself!</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18444301984329492089' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18444301984329492089' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Butterfly In The Attic</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://www.butterflyintheattic.com/2024/11/multiple-sclerosis-ms-muscle-spasms.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://www.butterflyintheattic.com/2024/11/multiple-sclerosis-ms-muscle-spasms.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-11-21T04:50:00-08:00'>4:50 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/6205637020694202417/6055680348999254310' onclick='javascript:window.open(this.href, "bloggerPopup", "toolbar=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=500");

I can remember how devastated and alone I felt when I was first diagnosed.  If my blog can help others not feel so alone and scared I will be so genuinely happy.  </p><p>While the blog is changing,  I am still an artist, kids book author, photographer and animal lover who loves to laugh so some of my posts will stay the same.  </p><p>Now where to start...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs0QKiBuZrt2BCO-T3uf3241wBj0oK84lJEZW3DTQtCathLfcM_FUid7xEEkm4TueDl8zb-0biK6ECe74k3C1JqM95cHja_hS88ZFrdU_wCNHAALae3XFN3fRxvDDXaPolDMygHDBObRPj8ra6-c6fwzr9nRabY-dMg3Ag-U__IiSOj7OPZF_unymuTTM5/s5184/IMG_0215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="5184" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs0QKiBuZrt2BCO-T3uf3241wBj0oK84lJEZW3DTQtCathLfcM_FUid7xEEkm4TueDl8zb-0biK6ECe74k3C1JqM95cHja_hS88ZFrdU_wCNHAALae3XFN3fRxvDDXaPolDMygHDBObRPj8ra6-c6fwzr9nRabY-dMg3Ag-U__IiSOj7OPZF_unymuTTM5/w400-h266/IMG_0215.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p>I was born in Wisconsin and always felt like I was not made for the cold winters.  I can remember hiding in the house for many months and even as a young child fighting with my parents about going outside to play.  In the summer months I lived outside but soon as temperatures started to drop I was done, nothing could get me outside.  This is maybe part of why I developed MS because studies have found a correlation to low Vitamin D levels and an increase in developing the disease.  But that is just one of the many theories on what causes or triggers MS and at this time there isn't anything concrete.  </p><p>I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in my 30's, which is common.  At the time I was under a lot of pressure. I was a non-trad student working on a math/science degree with 2 young kids. My son who is the youngest was just starting elementary school.  My daughter, also in elementary school, was having hundreds of seizures most days due to a different disorder.  And of course there was the day to day on top of all that.   In some ways I feel like I may have just pushed myself too hard and something had to break.  However, I can remember weird symptoms even as a young child so I have no idea when it started and what triggered it.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qr0i_M5w4aP5e9lYszT0L3JtT016aIwmr3gJQVdHMQ0pgKgUGCKOOY_rQltv8eYpVfRccR9KXPE2_IO_DcDthCsgOICMXDHcMncGR6AyO51_owbBHycuwNakKbhFa6MdIyqu0i_pKGN5NhZvvMHMXQtmVb_l_lRAqFJod5YbUt21aytXffVKfKaVpwXB/s1736/ribbon-1402015_1920.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1736" data-original-width="966" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_qr0i_M5w4aP5e9lYszT0L3JtT016aIwmr3gJQVdHMQ0pgKgUGCKOOY_rQltv8eYpVfRccR9KXPE2_IO_DcDthCsgOICMXDHcMncGR6AyO51_owbBHycuwNakKbhFa6MdIyqu0i_pKGN5NhZvvMHMXQtmVb_l_lRAqFJod5YbUt21aytXffVKfKaVpwXB/s320/ribbon-1402015_1920.png" width="178" /></a></div>My diagnosis with relapsing/remitting MS was in the spring of 2003, which is incredibly significant for those just getting diagnosed now.  Because, that means I have known about and have been treated for MS for over 20 years and I am still working and enjoying life.  When I think about all the time I wasted imagining the worst and worrying about my future I sincerely regret it.  The fear of the unknown is where we can spend much too much of our precious life in darkness.  Stress is so unhealthy and I come from a long proud line of Queen Worriers. Joking, that is probably one of my worse traits, bad for someone in general and especially bad for someone that has MS.<p></p><p>I always found it funny that doctors would tell me that it is so important for me to reduce stress after they just diagnosed me with a life changing disease.  I am not sure how many of you have been given that great piece of advice but personally it was not helpful.</p><p>I need to keep my posts short since I will be starting work in a few minutes but I will be interested <br />in hearing from everyone your thoughts on my new direction and if you want to know anything specific about my experience with MS.  (please keep it kind and PG) Until next time have a blessed day.</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18444301984329492089' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18444301984329492089' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Butterfly In The Attic</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://www.butterflyintheattic.com/2024/11/changing-my-butterfly-in-attic-blog.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://www.butterflyintheattic.com/2024/11/changing-my-butterfly-in-attic-blog.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-11-14T05:29:00-08:00'>5:29 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/6205637020694202417/1587669905034275745' onclick='javascript:window.open(this.href, "bloggerPopup", "toolbar=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=yes,width=640,height=500");
