I have MS, I'm a Mom...but there's more to the story

The one bad thing about the first cold snap of the season: It's hard for me to figure out whether I'm having chills because of my shot last night, or because of the weather. Tomorrow is the annual meeting for the local chapter of the National MS Society, and Tim and I will be attending. There will be a newly diagnosed seminar in the morning, and the keynote speaker is going to discuss … [Read more...] about

Lots of news to report today... Got a call from my neurologist's office with the results of my bloodwork. Everything looked terrific. Woohoo! Went to the MS Working Women's Luncheon today, and saw a presentation by a registered dietician. Some of you know I did Weight Watchers last year, and I lost a lot of weight.

I have a minimum that I must meet to participate, and it's a relief that I'm very close to it already. And I was reminded about corporate matching gifts as well, so I hope people will take advantage of that route if … [Read more...] about

Looks like I'm getting through the … [Read more...] about

Would I have a fever/chills/other yucky side effects? NO. I played hard, went to bed late, ate whatever I wanted to, and was fine all weekend. Only hint of a symptom was numbness in my right leg … [Read more...] about

Excellent report from the neurologist today. He was quite pleased with both my progress and attitude. And when he told me my vision has improved! During my eye appointment in May, my left eye was a blurry 20/30. Today, it's a blurry 20/20! I was ready to do cartwheels. Then they sent me off to get some bloodwork done. The Avonex nurse had warned me that I would need to have blood tests to … [Read more...] about
