MS drugs getting a cold with a weakened immune system

MS drugs getting a cold with a weakened immune system

I got my first infusion of Rituxan on May 29 and received the second September 16. Rituxan is technically not slated for MS as of yet however it’s counterpart Ocrelizumab is its sister that will be coming out in 2017. What this drug does is it knocks out all the B-cells one of your immune fighting cells. I’ve been on just about all of the MS therapy drugs at some point or other except for the newer ones that have…

Dating isn’t helping the diet

Second date update, aren’t we deserving of this?

Second date update, aren’t we deserving of this?

He comes to the door with this humongous bouquet of flowers. I’ve gotten roses before probably picked up at the nearest supermarket but it was obviously nothing like this. I was speechless which is rare for me. Before I met my husband my dating life wasn’t anything to write home about. I was awkward as a teenager and insecure throughout my twenties and thirties. When I met the ex-husband he was the first guy that really liked me that the…

The second date or third or fourth or fifth

So tonight is our second date. However if you would ask him and myself we would both say it’s probably more like our fourth or fifth. Being the fact that the first date was nine hours we sat through the lunch crowd the dinner crowd the snack crowd and outside for a while  we feel that it really can’t count as only one. So all the jitters of those first couple of dates that you have are really gone for…

I believe in…

I was never very religious growing up.   My thoughts on Jesus was the that an amazing lived a very long time ago, a preacher who touched many many people.

As far as Moses parting the Red Sea, again I believed another great man saved people from hardship somehow got them to another safe land but…

The law of attraction, universe and all in between

The law of attraction, universe and all in between

This is a true story.  There are no made up facts to the story. It is actually how it really happened.  I say this with a really big smile because you need to believe in this stuff.  I’ve been working with my  Life coach on manifesting money. We’ve come to the realization I have a very unhealthy relationship with money . I’m terrified that I won’t have enough and I’m terrified to spend what I actually have. So I hoard…

A parent first

A parent first

ive told the story in past posts about my parents and the pain my MS has caused them. To watch your child hurt and suffer when you stand by helpless is the worst feeling for a parent. I know my disease has repeatedly broken my parents (all 4 of them) hearts at various times through the years. I’ve had challenges with my daughter too. She was born with a progressive hearing loss. It is called EVAS, enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome. Her…

My 9 hour best first date….

My 9 hour best first date….

If you read my post yesterday you know that I wasn’t overly nervous going on this date.  I have course arrived early as I always do because I have yet to be late for anything plus I want to make sure I can park so…
