Pain.. oh my!

This weekend was a quiet one again... I love it!
I woke up in pain all weekend but once I get moving I feel better.
I have been told many times by the MS clinic that I really must do my daily stretches 3 times a day. If you are anything like me the prospect of sitting and stretching doesn't sound like too much fun.

I did however have to do some stretches last week at work only to get me thru the day and that is still going on today. So there is some truth to it!

This weekend we participated in "Clean to the Core". It's a city initiative started by one of the local alderman to help clean the down town core and connect with the homeless population.

We all meet at the Drop-In, form small teams and go pick garbage, pickers and all!
It made for a nice walk for Grace and I and hanging out with the clients is lots of fun too!

Speaking of which...The Drop-In has a story carnival on their website at the moment.
The Carnival is people of the DI, staff and clients alike sharing their favorite DI story.
Go check it out!

Vote for Mark!

A long week

Wow...I can't remember the last time I was so happy to see a Friday come!
We have sorted out the Day Care, I feel better, work is calming down and it's finally the weekend!

I became a Great Aunt last night, that's kind of strange...Never happened to me before! Congrats Cathy!

I am still feeling quite healthy so I am going to officially say that this relapse is OVER!

This week my blog hit over 2000 hits. I didn't think people would actually read when I started this. It's kind of nice and also strange to know!

I do want to thank "Anonymous" for your advise on my injection fiasco! My birth sister who also has MS is on Betaseron and has done quite well so far. I an going to see my neuro in March and will be talking to her about possibly changing meds.

My original gut feeling was Copaxone. I have written about this before. What I have learned since making my decision is that Copaxone is the only synthetic medicine. All the other injections are biological and grown on live substances which I find deranged in a way. I feel the same way about vaccinations.
I am still not sure of moving to an other type of medicine but I am also not sure I am done with Copaxone. This is almost as hard as parenting!

Parenting...who knew?

Wow...what a day!
Mark and I started the day somewhat like everyone else...
Drag your butt....Monday morning...Snooze one more time...

Then we dropped Grace off at day home and realised it was time to find a new home...TODAY.

We both spent the entire day looking for a new home or day care.
One interview down, one to go. I love her to bits but WOW being a mom is hard work!

This said I am very tired and stressed because I worry about my peanut!

I do believe my relapse is over now.
I felt very good this weekend. I still have headaches and the heat flashes but otherwise I feel a lot better then the last few weeks.

Let's hope I get rest tonight and all the "Mom" worries don't lead me back to relapse land!
