Infusions = Success?

The infusions actually made me feel better and didn't mess with my sleep so much that was unbearable. They caused some weird pain in my arms like brittle bone pain but I felt almost normal by Saturday and since my doctor took me out of work for another weekend I decided to take advantage and spend some quality time with Scott. He went with me to the hospital for my last infusion on Saturday.
Overall, I think the steroids did help and I will do them again if I need to.

Solu-Medrol Infusions

I called my doctor Wednesday because I'm not feeling any better. She decided that I needed to go ahead with the infusions. I did my first Solu-Medrol infusion yesterday and have to go back today and tomorrow for more. Basically I sit with an IV of 1000mg of steroids pumping into my vein for 30 minutes. The only noticeable side effects were a horrible metallic taste in my mouth that made food taste awful and an increased appetite. I had slight heartburn but I'm not sure if I can blame that on the steroids or the fact that I had Taco Bell right after.
Can't wait to get the bill for this little adventure. I just hope that I don't get the insomnia that other patients complain about after their infusions. I can deal with some more heartburn and some increased hunger (which is welcomed since one of my MS symptoms is no appetite) and the gross taste in my mouth, but do NOT mess with my sleep!

Thank God For Netflix

I'm off work until next Wednesday due to my relapse...this is extremely frustrating. I'm so exhausted and there is nothing that I can do. Thank God for Netflix and my super amazing Scott who is picking up loads of slack these days. Just feeding the dogs completely wore me out. I've never wanted to do dishes more in my life because I can't! I'm looking forward to going down to the farm this weekend and doing some wedding preparations even though I will just be on the sidelines.
