Chronically Something
Chronicles of Life with Multiple Sclerosis

Its true. Can’t even find one of those fake dentists to pay to say they recommend it.

Gylenia, Chicken pox, waiting, pain, and other bitchy updates from me
Ugh. So I’ve been without internet for a week now (thanks for sucking RCN). In general I feel like my health has been declining but my attempts to fight the pain and fatigue have been increasing so I guess Its a wash.
Today I got lots of results from the crap load of tests I’m required to complete before I can start Gylenia. All but the dermatologist has been done so I figured I’d be taking the new meds by the end of the month. Well.. that was wishful thinking. Turns out that I never did get exposed to the chicken pox. I knew that about myself but most docs looked at me and sorta laughed and said “I’m sure you were exposed but you don’t remember” or “I’m sure you had a really mild case and didn’t know what it was”. Well they were all wrong so now I need to get vaccinated. Woohoo.
So the nurse at the clinic very softly (and in her kindest social worker voice) told me that its not just a simple vaccine, I’ll get it this week if I’m lucky then wait a month then get another shot then wait another month then they will decide when to start me on the meds. hah!
Yep, that pushes back my start date about 3 months while curascript kindly made sure I received my first month of meds this week.. apparently so I could pay them the copay and stare at the box. The doc says I should probably get a solu-medrol infusion since I feel like I’m on the verge of a flare up (pain and fatigue and cog - fog wise). But since im getting vaccinated I’ll have to wait till they figure out when I can get it so that it doesn’t interfere with the vaccine. Also there is the fact that I’ll likely get sick from the damn shots and I the person I hang out with the most is both immobile and has never had the chicken pox so I can’t expose her. blerg.
Point of all this? I feel like shit and I’m starting to wonder if the medication is even worth all this crap. /negativity
oh and P.S. I may not have internet but I’ve been meticulously typing this post out on my old ipad for the last 6 hours so that I can post it using a data plan I can’t afford to pay for. YAY!!!
took the extra dose of baclofen & other ms pain meds
and I stayed awake to watch Jimmy Fallon.. which I wanted to watch but.. I’ve been in SUCH pain all day.. that I think it was that half hour of relief that had me up and watching and tweeting.. but now.. i want to pass out and hope the duller ache stays that way so I get at least 5 hours of sleep tonight and wake up from rest not from serious pain. I won’t bet on that happening.
