I came back from Amsterdam exhausted yet happy. Exhausted because I had a mood swing which lasted 2 days while in Dam. Fortunately, my best friend was with me and did a fine job of talking me down etc. Good friends are so important! They understand fatigue, pain, nausea, stiffness and mood swings as best they can and that's all that I ask. MS is AWFUL and I salute every loyal friend out there. We could not survive otherwise.

OK, some quick training info for you. Walked 10 miles yesterday and a further 2 today with no great pain. I'm aware I can walk 15 miles so that has been keeping my stress levels low. My main worry is not being able to do it with dignity and end up vomiting on a fellow competitor or something. I'm still getting a bit of nausea and am just hoping this will not be increased if the weather is too hot. Recovery? Let's wait and see shall we.
