So I started seeing an Acupuncturist. I read somewhere that it may help with foot drop. At this point, I'm willing to try anything. I don't know if it's getting worse, but if anything it's getting annoying. I can feel it (my foot feels heavy and doesn't move as well as the other) at Zumba, and I can especially feel it about halfway through my Ukrainian dance class. I haven't went for a run in over a month because the last time I did I tripped and almost face-planted right on my treadmill. It scared me a bit. So I'm trying acupuncture.
I've gone twice now. I have a couple more appointments scheduled. I don't know if it's helping. She's treating me right now for the foot drop, for fatigue, and for my mood swings. I do notice I'm not as tired, so maybe it is helping. And the other day at Zumba after treatment #2 my foot didn't feel as heavy as it used to. So it could be doing something. Or maybe it's all in my head. I have no idea. That's what sucks the most about MS is that I really don't know what's normal or what's MS related.
But I'm going to get poked with about 15 needles every week incase it does help. Fun.
