Tastes like...old foam couch cushions?

Yup, that's me today.  I have this odd taste/smell and sometimes can visualize a round piece of old, foam cushion in the back of my throat.

It has been coming and going all day.  It's weird as all get out.  I don't feel like I'm choking or anything so that's a good thing.  It reminds me of the food aversions and the way food tasted while I was on chemotherapy.

I went through a two year cycle of Novantrone treatments every three months for the MS and I had so many food aversions, things that made me feel sick just to look at them, and food that just didn't taste right.  That's what this is like.

This follows a day of extreme fatigue, a day where I slept in, took 5 hours worth of naps and felt like I could still sleep more.

I have never had a real relapse so this is kind of a new and weird thing to me.  Could it be?  Who knows.

I was diagnosed back in 2004 but only had relapsy type syptoms after miscarriages, when my hormones were going crazy.  My cycles have been really messed up since the Novantrone so maybe things are going to rear their head again causing all the MS stuff to go bonkers.

We'll see.  Now to eat some peanut butter and see if the taste of old cushions will go away for a bit.  Yuck.
