MS update
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 process. It is much easier to get a shot than to give yourself one. So, on the nights that Jim is home, he does it for me now. At first he wouldn't do it, claiming that I needed to learn to do it myself and he didn't want to enable my avoidance of it. So, now I get a shot three times a week. Some weeks I have to do it myself every time, other weeks I get a break and have Jim do a couple of them. I hate having to give myself a shot, but I'm grateful that it is available. Other than making my life a bit more complicated because I have to have GROUP health insurance to cover my meds/testing and the inconvenience of the shots, I really have not been affected at all by this disease. Hopefully it stays that way.
