Four o’clock in the morning and I’m awake. Starting to believe that it’s not because of the sleep schedule I was on, and starting to wonder if the steroids gave me insomnia. No real clue. Will be talking to the nurses and doctor about it later. On to more pleasant endeavors. Last night’s dinner. Jason… Continue reading Day 4 June 4, 2009

Day 3 June 3, 2009
Kind of neat that the number of days I’ve been on this medicine coincides with the days of the month. I was wrong on my shot count yesterday. I had a shot of insulin, two pricks from the diabetic tester and three pokes from the needle. Six shots yesterday. Let’s hope today proves better. Woke… Continue reading Day 3 June 3, 2009

Convenient.)… Continue reading Day One June 1, 2009

I am in no way telling you to get on the drug. This is… Continue reading I have willingly become a lab rat
I’m radioactive
Disclaimer: This is a rant. I’m venting. Take it as you will. I’m radioactive. Well, not really, but I feel as if I am. Why? I’m 38, a widow and I have MS. I had a husband for 19 years that helped me in a lot of ways, and not just with the MS. I… Continue reading I’m radioactive
