(that cousin's sister is the relative I have that has MS...she had her big exacerbation the week her brother became a quad. Their mom had two totally paralyzed children at the same time for awhile)

Wow. That's the worst coincidence ever.



I'm not weird at all about needles, but this is way better than most because I do NOT have to see them, lol!

I can NOT stand the sight of blood though. Even a paper cut and I'm fainting.

yeah, my cousins and their mom were having a really bad year that year. At least the MS cousin is a bit better now. I havent ever talked to her, but I've talked to her brother. I havent talked to him since before my MS diagnosis, so I've never really asked him how his sister is. (they're from a branch of the family we only ever see at family reunions)


I am weird about needles. The only reason I can inject myself with copaxone every day is because I cant actually see the needle, and the autoject makes it idiot-proof so that I can just press a button and get the injection. I'd never be able to do it if I had to actually hold the needle in my hands to do the injection.

I cant watch the nurse at my doctor's office give me a shot, or draw blood. I always close my eyes and wait for them to tell me it's over.

Glad you went for it, sis. I hope you get much deserved relief for a really LONG time.

I'm glad all went well, and that you didn't have any ill-effects from the Versed.

All the best,
Chris

Glad it's working for you. Reducing pain is always a good thing.

I don't mind the sight of blood....as long as it's not my own
