Did you get some sleep last night as you were hoping?

The last IV's I got took a few days to start helping a lot... so hang in there!
I didnt fall asleep till about 130am, but I did sleep till about 730am, so that wasnt too bad.

Had a crappy day for the infusion. The infusion nurse was dragged kicking and screaming to work in the ER, so they dragged me kicking and screaming along with her. Getting an IVSM infusion in an uncomfortable ER sucks mightily. The infusion center is so much nicer and comfy.

The nurses were GREAT tho! I filled out a comment card and kvetched about being forced to do the IV in the ER, but I complimented the nurses like crazy on it. I told the nurses to tell management that I was not happy about having to be in the ER. (it was too warm over there for some reason too) Whole place gave me a headache.

Made the comment that the infusion nurse was the best part about the whole 3 days of IVSM. I'm buying her some candy or something and taking it up there next week. Hopefully I wont be all numb and uncomfortable by then.

Legs are still numb, and I feel like there's a steel plate fused to my low back. (weeeeird!) and my back is killing me now. I just took some neurontin. I hope that makes the steel plate unscrew from where it's bolted to my back and butt. Such a weird sensation.

I'm going to go call my doctor that did the order for the IVSM and set up a follow up appointment with him. Hopefully I'll be able to drive my car by then and not have numb toes.

I really really hate MS.


wow...the stock market looks like it's crashing...the things I miss while dealing with MS crud. Hope I have money left by tonight. (market crashing because of something going on in Greece...)
