I can honestly say, June 18th, 2014 was the worst day of my life. But, wow, has it changed me for the better. On June 18, 2014 I woke up on day three of my body feeling weird and tingly, but this day was different. It had spread to the entire left side of my … Continue reading 5 Years of my MS Journey
Last Thursday was my first infusion with Ocrevus, and the truth is, I am so thankful I made the change in switching to this drug. It wasn’t flawless, but much better than I expected, and I haven’t given myself a shot for 9 days….that is the longest I have gone without injecting myself in 4 … Continue reading Ocrevus Part 1
See this empty syringe? That’s not just any empty syringe. That’s the LAST one I have to inject into my body, based on my current plans for my MS treatment. After almost 4 years of giving myself shots three times a week, I am switching drugs. I’m thankful to report this is a proactive measure, … Continue reading New Treatment

I’ll say the time period from February 22-March 22 of this year is the busiest I have been in a … Continue reading There is no point
I share much less with my social media following than my blog, but today I gave them a little Wednesday Wisdom. I like to let them know what is going on. I like them to understand more about MS. Before I was diagnosed, I did not understand the disease or what it was, and especially … Continue reading I have MS, but MS doesn’t have me
For the past week I have spent way too much of my mental space thinking about that damn doctors appointment, and the future of my MS treatments. I am torn on my feelings on so many levels, and I am praying for answers to so many things. Let me bring you in on a secret, … Continue reading Decisions
