waspy wipeout

I found out something new about my MS at the weekend! Wasp stings makes it flare up! :/ ....I got stung for the first time in years on Friday! It got me right on my spine (luckily I was in our big bell tent, cos you've never seen a dress being whipped off so quickly! Either me or the wasp had to vacate the dress before it got me again!).

About 10 or 15 minutes afterwards  I started getting really drowsy and fatigue was hitting me hard. There were a few other factors as well, like it being damp and a bit chilly, and the fact that I'd started drinking, but only just......I had a feeling it was something to do with the wasp sting, and my dodgy immune system, so I checked it out on the internet, and there do seem to be instances of this happening with other people, even as far as causing relapses!

I was wiped out for most of the weekend, and having some patches of hot leg, which is an old symptom I've not had in a while..and I'm blaming the sting! I am trying to keep things in proportion though, and not let myself get phobic about wasps!
