Dejibo! Dejibo!
Yes, she can;
If she can't do it;
Nobody can!

She shoots onces a day
To help the lesions stay away

OK, so I was never the cheerleader type but you have my support! I hated taking the shots at 1st. So I started a routine of doing the shots in the evening before bed and then meditating on how this medicine was helping me. I even imagined the C attacking the lesion, kind of like a silly video game. For me using this imagery really helped especially after I had my 1st major IPIR. If it wasn't for that fact that this med is supposed to help me and prevent more issues, I never would have picked up that needle after that IPIR.

Try using mental imagery and see if that helps.

This may cheer you on. I was dx in Jan 06 and started C in March 06. I went through serial attacks for the 1st year and then they started getting further apart. I recently had my 1 year MRI and I had NO changes on that MRI from the previous year. That is my motivation to stay on C. (Of course, I had an exacerbation of a spinal lesions shortly after that MRI. LOL:rolleyes:).

Keep up until you have the MRI and take it from there.

10 more days (I think) Dejibo! How are you doing? Are you still taking the shots? How are the eye plugs working for you?

Counting down . . .:hug:

Count down!! 7 more days!!! Just one week longer!! You can do it! You are almost there!!

Woot! Finally some cheerleading for yas!

Since we been talking, I know you are continuing to shoot despite your trepidations... and I know the eye plugs worked but have now dissolved = eyes are dry again :(

Hang in there, Dej! You have faced much worse in your life and can get thru all this. Permanent plugs next week, MRI coming up, chiro for your back!

I love yas!! :hug:

Just 5 more days to go!!! Yahoo!!

Just 5 days!!!! You can do it! Easy as pie.

How are you doing Dejibo?

i'm a little late on the uptake here.
but i wanted to say i'm glad you got the plugs done.
i hear they can be very successful.

i'm here to tell you that you can make it thru one day at a time.
the sun always comes up and things seem brighter.
try to always look for something positive.
you can do this.
good luck.
keep us posted.

Thanks. that is better cheerleading.

I have had some sort of a tummy bug the last few days. yeck! My vision has gone wonky on me. Like a camera flash bulb has gone off in my face, and I cant get the spots to calm down. my starter eye plugs dissolved (they are supposed to) they give them to you to make sure it solves your problem. they did! I get a new permenant pair on Wednesday at the crack of dawn. Seeing Chiro today, and MRI on thursday. oh joy! I am so nervous about shooting the tube. I HATE being locked to the table. I am anxious to hear the results. glioma had better be behaving itself. Ms better be on the run.

Thanks for all the support. 3 days till MRI and results time.

I am so glad that the eye plugs worked. That's awesome and I am sure such a huge relief to you.

With only 3 days left you can certainly do the shots for only 3 more days.

As for the MRI, maybe you can have either your neuro or PCP prescribe something to take before hand. I always go a little sedated as I am so claustrophobic. I did have just a spinal MRI done once and did ok with that. But, put a cage around my face and clamp my head forget it. I thought I would try to be brave once in my determination to accept the MS dx and knowing I would have to get these done regularly. Well, after pulling me out of the tube for the 3rd time, they had me put a Xanax under my tongue so they could get the MRI done. So embarrassing! From then on, I go sedated.

Hang in there! We cheering for you!
