my stumbles through life with ms
How has it already been five years? I remember half walking, half dragging the numb side of my body into the hospital in 2018. The day before my husband’s 30th birthday, incidentally. After a month of dealing with steadily worsening numbness, fatigue, and pain, amongst many other troubling symptoms. I…
Today, I’m talking about my Disease Modifier – Rebif. An Interferon injection I give myself 3 times a week; if you’ve been here for awhile, you know I’ve been on it for two years now. If anyone’s counting, that adds up to 312 times that I’ve injected in the last…

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…
