My immune system is the pits

Last night I decided that my immune system is the pits.
I sat down and tried to think of the last time I wasn't sick and realised...it's been a long time!

I lost my voice at Christmas, then I got a relapse, a sinus infection and now a cough with congestion. I wonder if it's all part of the bigger MS picture seeing as MS has been said to be an auto immune disorder.

I don't often read the news paper and I must admit, I love getting emails from people who read something on MS. I get them from everyone and LOVE IT!
So far I've received news paper clippings, online news paper feeds and also google searches. Please keep them coming!

Donna read last week that Dr. Zamboni is currently in Hamilton helping the research on CCSVI. She also read that the Dr. in Buffalo has found that not all MS'ers have blocked or collapsed veins. This is negating Dr. Zamboni's research however they have not dropped the research. They are still working to see if there is truth to the original study.

I have come across this great site via Facebook with everything surrounding CCSVI.
Take a peek...I just came across it so I have lots of reading to do!
I even includes the Power Point presentation from Dr. Haacke!

Sniffles from nowhere

Last night was a hard night. Grace wouldn't sleep by herself and we don't want her to get used to sleeping with us. She was awake from 10 - 1am. Needless to say Mark and I are tired today.

I woke up with lots of energy and that was quite the surprise!

Grace had a Valentine's Day party and I made cupcakes for her to share. I was so excited for her!

On my way to work I felt congested all of a sudden. By early afternoon I had to breakdown and admit to myself that I got the cold Mark and Grace shared all week. Shucks!

Fatigue also hit me around 2pm today. That was the MS knocking hard. Wow...
I got dizzy and tired. My eyes were burning and my short term memory was all over the place.
I imagine people who have conversations with me on days like this think I must either be faking it or that I am completely nuts!

Let's hope I wake up in the morning all better!

MRI's and injections

Well I have yet an other MRI on Friday night starting at 5pm...What a great way to start the weekend! It will be almost 8 pm by the time I leave the hospital.

A few weeks ago I told you how frustrated I was getting with my daily injections and the side effects. Now that I am prepared to speak to my neuro about the possibility of changing the side effects seem to be getting better.

It's been almost 2 weeks since I have had a big swollen bump at injection site. The site is still itchy and warm but nothing like it was. I am starting to believe that it truly does take 6 months for your body to get used to the injections... Ah what to do now...
