Thanks for being patient you guys – between deleting MULTIPLE posts I had drafted and my hectic schedule – I haven’t had a chance to post in a few. What pisses me off most is simple human error led to a couple of really well written, great posts I think had a lot of great content.

But that’s life and moving on – I turn 27 on Monday.

I’m not one of those people who get upset about growing old at all. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life, and come much too close to losing others to not appreciate growing older. So many people don’t get that privilege.

I also get to see the neurologist Monday.  My first “big” checkup post diagnosis. I saw the main PA 4 months out, and it went well. This visit will be with the head honcho. I do have a ton of questions to ask him. DMD’s, diet, exercise, supplements, new blood tests. All types of fun.

Which got me thinking about what my fave comedian said at my local support group the other day – that we all have to be our own advocate. Especially with MS, but regardless of what disease or illness you’re facing. It’s crucial to have a great group of people who support and care about you. No one can advocate for you like you can.

That being said, I’m writing up a list of questions for my Dr right now. Tomorrow I’ll gather up my Plegridy and symptom journals, too. Here’s to hoping this visit is as uneventful as the last one and that I get the OK to go to school/work/somehow survive with an autoimmune disease and anxiety.

I also know I’ve been slacking on what I want to post here. Not that it bothers any of you, but of course it’s bothering me. I’ll be adding another one in a couple days, so please check back regularly!
