I havent taken any C since my double vision started at the end of June. (would you want to be poking yourself with needles when seeing double?)
I did do one shot on wednesday, but it hurt really bad, and so I decided to hold off on taking any more for a bit. I've got four months worth in my fridge, so the next time I get a call for a new shipment, I'm telling them no more. I dont care if I lose out on the co-pay that Shared Solutions pays for. I'm not sure I'm going to be taking any more C once I finish off the four month backlog.
Since I stopped, I noticed that my eyes arent as dry as they were, and I stopped having bizzaro dreams for a bit. (had a few weird dreams the past few days, but I'm guessing that's the solumedrol I had last week)
I'm probably going to start back up on the C pretty soon, now that I've seen a little improvement on my diplopia. I'm going to talk to my neuro about the C at the end of the month. I think I'm going to finish off my backlog of shots, and then try for something else (LDN!!!) I've not seen a change in the number of exacerbations since I started the C in 2007. The diplopia that I'm having now is the biggest exacerbation that I've had since the ON that I had in 2006 that was really my first clue that I had MS.
I got to talk to my regular doctor on the phone friday, and I asked him if he was ever going to let me try the LDN, and he didnt say anything right away. He wants to talk to my neuro about it. My neuro told me that if I could find a doctor willing to Rx it to me, that I could go ahead and take it. Hopefully the neuro remembers that he said that and will tell my regular doctor that.
I have to make an appointment with my regular doctor (who I love, because he seems to understand MS a bit better. His dad has it) for a few weeks from now, so that I can try to convince him to let me do the LDN.
I'm just sick of stabbing myself with the C all the time. I also dont like the dry eyes I get with it.
