Really I have 3  She delayed the delivery, but said I need to keep taking the shots.
I am tired of it. Really tired of it. The shots hurt, and I just don't want to do it anymore. It reminds me that I am sick. I don't see a real decline in my MS symptoms, so why do I have to keep sticking myself?  |
I am so sorry Debbie. I find myself in that boat all the time, and I only have to inject 3x a week. But I am there with you. I feel like my shot is so harassing. And I myself feel like its not working, I have flared 3-4 times in a year. So what exactly is it doing for me? I guess maybe if I wasn't taking the shot I could have had 8 flares in a year. But what if I still just had the 3-4? It makes me wonder. And DEFINITELY reminds me that I have a disease. Sometimes I cry about it, because I remember back in the day when I didnt have to take a shot to stay out of a wheelchair. ugh. DANG YOU MS!
It sucks, I can't argue with you there. But maybe the shots are working for you (us) and we just don't see it because we want to hate the shots. Needles don't bother me, it's what's in the needle that bothers me,
I'm sorry Im not much help, but I figured some "I'm in that boat with you!" would make you feel, slightly, better.
