G2's Walk Challenge

Well i was supposed to go to NC and support G2 on the weekend of this walk (big lime (hang out) in NC), but there is a change of plans.  I’m going in for my 1st Tysabri infusion on 6/4, so i’m not making any plans to go out of town that weened.  Instead, I’ll be limin in the infusion center with a needle in my arm! 🙁

I sent her an instant msg (we work at the same place) to say that i wasn’t coming and she exclaimed in horror but then when i told her y, she completely understood – OF COURSE…oh well…next time.  There’s actually one in Atlanta this Saturday.  I’m going – not walking, but I’m heading down there to support K and whomever else shows up to walk it.

G2 is walking in Charlotte this year in the MS Challenge Walk.  It’s a 3 day, 50 mile walk taking place in NC on June 4-6.  Let’s “raleigh” around her and Move It together!!!  BIG LIME IN NC that weekend!!!  Here’s the link to her website:

Speed Demon

I am $266 poorer…i went to court on Monday for my speeding ticket.  I’ve gotten about 4 speeding tickets in my lifetime – 2 of which were out of state.  In my experience, when u go to court, the fine is lowered considerably.  Well not this time….it was lowered by a whopping $16!!  I am looking on the bright side…they actually lowered the speed from 82 in a 55 to 72, so i get 2 points on my license as opposed to 4 – that is good news! 
I swear if there were 5000 people living in Atlanta, 4950 of them were in that court on Monday.  The place was lukewarm-ish, smelled frowzy and all those people!!! OYE!!  I got there at 2 and left at 4:15and I had to pull out the MS card too.  Of the 4950 people, 4900 were in line for the cashier…I had to tell 1 of the cops there that I was unable to stand for long periods of time and he worked with 1 of the employees to allow me to sit while I waited.

Did i learn any lessons?  YES!  keep a closer eye on the road looking for those torturers (cops)!!  I’m still speeding…I can’t help it.  Like people who choose not to drink alcohol, I jes don’t get people who drive slow!

Waiting Game

this last waiting game I’ve been playing is over!  I was contacted by the MS Center yesterday and have scheduled my 1st Tysabri infusion on 6/4.  The most surprising news?  The insurance company claims that they will pay 100%…when I exclaimed in bewilderment, the chick said, “yes that’s what they said, but u can call me before u schedule the 2nd one to confirm that they paid in full for the 1st one if u’d like.”  WOW!  who woulda thunk it…not me!

So…before starting the infusions, i have to be off of the daily shot for 2 weeks…since this process started, i have been slacking off taking the shots – i cyah lie.  So, I missed last week Thursday and Friday (the legs are the sites i hate the most), took it Saturday and completely forgot Sunday.  Yesterday morning, for whatever reason, I decided to do the right thing and take it.  F*CKIN A!!!  because of that, I couldn’t go in on 5/21.  (Since this is new and I’m not sure how I’ll react (side effects and all!), I want to go in on a Friday for the 1st few times.) 5/28 is out – won’t be in town…so I have to wait all the way till June!  That leaves me a whole week to continue with the bloody daily shot – F*CKIN A!!!!

On aother news…the Ampyra continues to work; still no side effects and walking almost like a champ! 🙂

Pill Popper

Hi,  my name is Stacey and i am a pillaholic!

Yup, it has come to this…I mentioned before that I bought a pill organiser – good thing too!  It’s become very handy…

  • every morning at 9 i have to take 2 (sometimes 3) and 1/2 pills…at 5 pm, I pop 1 1/2, at 9pm, i take 1 and then at 1am, it’s another 1 1/2!
I eh go lie, I worry sometimes about overdosing because suppose i take the wrong pill at the wrong time.  Did I mention that all but 1 are small and white?!?!?  I have reminders on Outlook at work for during the week and on weekends, my phone alarms to remind me.  Of course at 1am every morning, my phone goes off.  I am actually becoming used to that (it’s waaaaaaay past my bedtime during the week) but I’ve noticed that I have started waking up close to 1, so it’s almost as if I don’t need it anymore (i’m not going to delete it tho).  
Back to the organiser – it’s helped me keep on track tho (guess that’s why it’s called an organiser).  Those odd times when I wonder if i took the pills or not, I just need to look in my handy dandy compartment to see if it’s empty or not 🙂
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – i know that my experience is certainly not the worst and for that I’m extremely grateful, but being sick still SUCKS!
