Another year has come and gone – but this one looks a lot different than last, does it not? This post is a little late, as this anniversary came + went last month. Of course, more time just gives us more perspective. (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.) Like I expect most who… Continue reading 2 Years with MS & 11 Months on Rebif – A Quick Update
If you don’t have MS, or are newly diagnosed, you may be thinking – what in the world is a disease modifying drug? They’re also known as DMT’s, or disease modifying therapies. In the past, these drugs were used only for RRMS to help modify disease activity. Specifically, DMD’s have been found to – Reduce… Continue reading Disease Modifying Drugs and MS
This should be a relatively short update, like my last one about Rebif. I’ve been on it for 9 weeks now!

I couldn’t eat, I had the chills and shakes almost 2/7, and my skin was the perfect grey-green… Continue reading One Week on Rebif
This month marks one full year that I’ve been on Plegridy. It’s an Interferon beta-1a used to treat Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I inject it subcutaneously every 14 days. The last year has gone by quickly, but I’ll never forget it. When I first started Plegridy, I was just chomping at the bit to get… Continue reading One Year on Plegridy
Sunday’s are a big day in my household. Every Sunday is our little “prep” day. We usually prep some lunches, get the laundry finished up, try to tidy up the house, and I’ll redo my pill organizer for the week. Every other Sunday, however, is an injection day, which is a different type of “prep”… Continue reading Sundays
