Interesting word, hmm?
Meanings range from: "in·sid·i·ous

/inˈsidēəs/

adjective
  • 1.proceeding in a gradual, subtle way, but with harmful effects:"sexually transmitted diseases can be insidious and sometimes without symptoms"

"Insidious | Definition of Insidious by Merriam-Webster

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insidious

And so my feelings of calling Multiple Sclerosis dx'd 2006, an insidious disease is right on! (Although, sex has nothing to do with it, bud dump bum.)

Sadly.

I was diagnosed a mere twelve and half years ago, but probably had it many more years than that, as anyone who has it knows sometimes the dx of MS is overlooked. Mine was due to me also having Fibromyalgia, dx'd 1994.

Any-who, the reason I mention this is only because I also have spinal stenosis dx'd 1983 https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/spinal+stenosis and spondylosis dx'd 1983 https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/spondylosis and every and each time I have a nasty symptom I am wondering which of my ailments are causing it, ya know?

Like my hands' pain and numbness, can be either of those mentioned or all of the above.
Feet too!
Back pain is the two or three of them.
Headaches are two others, the cervical (neck) stenosis and my MS too!
It is amazing when I have a portion of the day that I do not have a body part shouting, "it's my turn to annoy you!"
The problem is they don't often take turns they usually attack all at once!

Sorry, enough about me.

Hubby has again been feeling poorly and was sporting an unattractive 101.4 mysterious fever!
Tylenol brought it down though in one fell swoop to 99.8 within a couple of hours!
His symptoms are what one would expect chills and tired, and then later too warm, not too much to go on, see mysterious!
He had some Gatorade and chicken and rice soup, and says he is feeling better.
Odd any scary!
Hope he is on the mend.
His eye antibiotics are long gone they were doubled dosed for big impact, and he was given a week's worth, so that was five days ago.
His eye is much better than it was, but still not all better.
He does have an appointment with the eye specialist this week, thankfully!
Hope then we will find out what is going on.

Happy good night all!

Count those blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

And send prayers to the Carolinas!
