Thanks you guys!

Infusion one is done. I now feel crappy as the IVSM usually does to me. However, while sitting in the infusion center getting my IVSM I realized how lucky I really am. I think I was the luckiest one in there. I only have MS. The other patients have things far worse such as cancer. One guy was a recent transplant recipient and was there to receive a blood transfusion and things go messed up. Another girl, I don't know what she had, look so awful, miserable, and completely unhappy. Another man was getting his 1st round of chemo. Another man, I don't know what he was getting but he didn't look so good either. I felt fortunate that I was in there getting something that was going to help me and I will go on with a "normal" life. It was very humbling. Today, MS seems like a walk in the park to me compared to the others that were there. Today, I am glad I only have MS.

Daisy - For me, a relapse happens when the symptoms become far more intense than my normal. Most of the time, I bounce back to a new normal. Sometimes I get things back right away and other times it takes me a while to get them back and other times, I don't get them back at all. I hope that makes sense. This relapse, along with my daily hug which increased in intensity, my legs were very spastic, my gait is way off, and my left arm/hand is very weak (dropping things or can't lift things including my hairbrush). This was not normal for me and I just knew it was a relapse.
