For those of you who know me from MSWorld, you'll know that living.a.new.journey is my chat name.
My journey continues to change and get a little more "exciting" every day.
Yesterday I started Copaxone. It's a self-injecting drug. I administer Copaxone to myself every single day. Yesterday was super hard. SUPER hard. I held it together while the nurse was here, but I had to go have a good cry after she left. I'm not sure why it's so hard for me. Maybe I'm in denial? Or maybe I just really hate needles. Either way, it's all pretty overwhelming right now. Everyone has been telling me that it will get easier, so I'm really hoping that it does.
Today, I have not been feeling well. I have this lingering migraine-type headache that just won't go away, and I feel very flu-ish. I did a bit of research and this is what I found. So...it makes sense that I feel this way. Hopefully these side effects won't last too much longer, and I'll be able to get used to the medication. On the other hand, it's kind of nice to know WHY I am feeling the way I do. At least now I have some answers.
Since I'm not feeling well, today has turned into a bit of a movie day for Isaiah. Conner seems to know that I'm not feeling well, and fell dead asleep before he even finished his bottle this morning, so that's nice.
That's all for now....xoxo
