Today is injection day. The 5th of every month. Not my favorite day. I should be eternally grateful for these “free” extremely expensive Multiple Sclerosis meds. I am, but the side effects are just atrocious. Migraines and nausea continually plague me for 2-3 days even though the neurologist says it’s not a known side effect. I wish my neurologist would not compare me to other people that take these meds and seriously listen to me.

I often wonder if the injections are helping me I don’t feel any different yet. It’s been since July 2022. Sometimes that little voice in me thinks is the meds worth it? 30+ years fighting, now wheelchair bound, will be the big 60 this year, are the lesions still growing and damaging my myelin sheath on my brain and spine? My nerve and spine pain at times just overrides any logical thinking of trying healthier non inflammatory food, stretching, trying to lose more weight, keep moving, go outside, do art, be more positive and say this too shall pass.

Trying to keep the faith. 🧡
