New meds for me....

Wow can't believe another month has gone by. In that month alot has happened, new symptoms appeared and the Dr thought it was something other than the MS so another round of MRI's and an EMG told the doc what i told him, it's the MS. So now I have to go off my shots for a month and then start a new therapy, which in a way i better because it's only 1 infusion a month instead of a shot a week, but there is the potential to develop a very serious disease called PML. Although I will be closely monitored while on this new drug. MRI's every 6 months and also blood work. We shall see how this works out. Remember, always laugh out loud, live life to the fullest, and love deeply.

another round of MRI"S

It's been a rough 2 weeks! Thinking I wasn't feeling myself because of the heat and humidity, I just hydrated myself and tried to stay cool. Then last Friday, I got out of my car and fell, went down on my right knee and banged it up pretty good! Thought I probably slipped because it had rained and didn't see the water. But then on Tuesday of this past week, I was putting away clothes in S's room and I went down again, on the same knee except this time I couldn't catch myself and wound up hitting my head. Nice scrap on my forehead, actually looks like I burned myself with the flattening iron! So I called my neuro and went to see him on Friday. He wants to repeat my brain MRI's, there is a tremble in my left arm that usually is a sign of more lesions. Once he gets those results, then he'll see where he wants to go with treatment, meaning a new med. FML I just want to feel semi-normal. I want to be able to go up or down a flight of stairs without wincing in pain. I want to hold a cup of coffee for longer than 2 minutes without my arm hurting, or go shopping and walk the mall without getting tired. I follow the Dr's directions but I never feel any better. Why? Maybe this is just all part of God's overall plan for me. They say he never gives you more than you can handle. I hope he doesn't give me anymore, I'm not sure how much more i can handle. :)
