Running to defeat MS (symptoms)

Which these days means I'm injecting myself three times a week. Fun. So, no negative effects from the lapse in Rebif while I was on antibiotics, at least that I can feel at this point. I've got a soccer game tonite so that should be a good test of my balance/coordination side, which is the main factor in determining relapses. Since the last few weeks were full of events related to MS I ended up doing a bit more research, and, as with anything on the internet, ran into a few, possibly disheartening, facts. MS that presents coordination problems has a less optimistic prognosis. And, the further between relapses the better the prognosis. Well, who knows if my initial encounters with parasthesia count, but if so my relapses were at least 2 years apart, possibly less. And I certainly had balance/coordination problems, you just have to read my early blogs about last summer to see what it was like. Whatever, going to push forward!

Nothing major to report, spent the weekend with the neighbors and their kids. All the kids must be wiped today after spending the entire days Sat. and Sun. (and Fri. evening) playing together.

After doing yardwork all weekend I was reminded of my inability to do any yardwork last year. If the price to pay for that is thrice-weekly injections... then that's a small price. Should be coming off the antibiotics towards the end of the week, thenback to injections. The thought process is, that if my fevers start back up again, there may be a problem with the interferon. Otherwise, I just had fevers last week due to a sinus infection. I hope it is the former.
