Last week I wrote a post about all my different spasms. My multiple sclerosis spasms. I was sitting around yesterday as my right leg was doing the one type of spasm that you could actually see. So I got it on video .img_2066-9 This is why I take so many medicines at night. If I have this spasm while I’m trying to sleep, I won’t. It does happen and incidentally I have many blogs dedicated to my lack of sleep….
I have my neurologist appointment this morning. My second neurologist appointment admits the coronavirus isolation. Once again this will be a teleconference appointment as was my other one. I’m thankful that both my doctors know me so well. What would this be like if I was a new patient or something? I can’t imagine. This appointment was always scheduled as a checkup but now it is also serving as my wheelchair evaluation. I need to be seen by my doctor,…
So I took an extra triple magnesium capsule on my way to the bathroom yesterday. I can normally swallow pills without water. Comes from years of taking pills. I wasn’t able to actually swallow the capsule for some reason but I needed to use the bathroom. I left it in my mouth for the second until I could get water from the sink. I just didn’t plan on one of my rock skipping ass off the toilet bowl moves. I…
My spasms have been extremely annoying lately. I have a few different types and it depends what it hitting when. My back has probably been the most frequent. It starts with this warm feeling that spreads across my back and reaches from left to right. It continues to my right hand where it paralyzed it for a second. Then I have the one in right hamstring. This one you can feel building up. It’s like you welcome the spasm when…
I’m going out into the zombie apocalypse tomorrow. Wish me luck. It will be my first time out in almost two weeks. I’ve been very good at hiding myself away to keep safe but now I must make an appearance. I finally got an appointment for a wheelchair evaluation at my physical therapy office. I’ve waited four months to be seen. I couldn’t decide to not go. They assured me that the staff is in masks and the gym is…
I went through my blog posts because I couldn’t remember how many times I’ve done Rituxan. I made the switch from Ocrevus back to Rituxan for the March 2019 infusion. This is my 3rd time. I was on Rituxan at an earlier time but was forced to change when Ocrevus came out. My insurance company, at the time, would not authorize Rituxan because it was not approved for multiple sclerosis. I than changed insurance companies once again and asked to…
On Wednesday I was feeling something itching me under me right breast. I looked many times but didn’t see anything. I was on high alert looking for blister under my breasts. I was very concerned over a repeat episode of the side effects that happened last September. https://multipleexperiences.org/2019/09/17/blisters-on-breast/?preview=true&frame-nonce=b3345af611. When my aid looked on Thursday she was able to see a few little bumps in the area like a rash. We used a little Neosporin on the area. Last night I…
Another day at home except this time I’m like many others in the world. Welcome to my life. This is definitely the time to binge TV, read a book or 8 and maybe start a jigsaw puzzle. I’m hanging with my puppies, in my chair, gazing at the water and listening to the construction still going on near my condo. It’s comforting to know that things haven’t stopped completely with this virus. I am still feeling tired from my Rituxan…
I watched this video yesterday and wanted to share it with everyone. It discuss relevant information about this virus and MS. It discusses the drugs we take and the possible risk factors involved. I actually learned something about my own drug and how it effects my immune system.
