doubtful, but anything is possible!

I've been on my medication for MS since the end of September. At first, it did make me feel like I had the flu the day after a shot, but now it really doesn't affect me at all. The shot itself is painful. Actually, it's not the needle that is painful, it's the medicine that stings/burns quite a lot. Giving myself a shot is a rather stressful ( Read more... )

It never ceases to truly amaze me what evil man is capable of. Today I watched the HBO documentary, WHITE LIGHT, BLACK RAIN: THE DESTRUCTION OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. Of course I've read first-hand accounts of the bombings in the past, but this documentary was such a stark reminder of the suffering of these people. Man's will to survive and ( Read more... )

Went to Savannah Tuesday and Wednesday with Jim. Stayed at a great B&B The Green Palm Inn. It was my first time in Savannah. Bumbled around seeing the area on Tuesday and had dinner at jazz'd tapas bar. We wandered around a bit more on Wednesday and drove out to Tybee Island for a quick look see. We had to get back to River Street by 2:15 to ( Read more... )

Well, I'm pretty well settled into my new place now. Living with Jim is great now that we have enough space. My old apartment was just way too small for two people. So, the living arrangement is working for me and I'm quite happy that Jim and I have made it this far together. I really love him more each day. It's nice ( Read more... )

I went to see the director of the MS program at Shands a couple of weeks ago. He agreed with the diagnosis and treatment plan. He said that my MRIs were not especially impressive, so not a whole lot of damage has been done at this point. He felt that my outlook was very good ( Read more... )

I had my doc's appointment this morning and everything is consistent with MS. I am going to go see another neurologist that only deals with MS cases to get a second opinion on the diagnosis and treatment plan. I should be able to get in to see him within 2 weeks ( Read more... )

I got all of my blood work done on the 10th and now I'm just waiting to go back to the doc on the 6th. My parents seem to have reversed roles now: my dad being the one freaking out and my mom being the practical one. They're both coming down on the 5th, but my mom said it was OK if Jim and I went to the office together and then just came home and ( Read more... )

I got the MRI of my neck done today. The place called me at around noon and said they'd had a cancellation, so if I could come in at 1 o'clock they could do my scan ( Read more... )
