All done with NO fun!





Whew! Happy that is over. Anticipation is usually high with such things. And in my judgment, at this point I am not quite clear if it has taken that is in the respect that it has entirely done what it is supposed to accomplish. My eye is still not the way I hoped for it to be, working correctly.

And my floaters are more often now, oh I suppose I forgot to mention that they were back before this infusion, yep they are!

This is all part of the diagnosis in keeping with the socket pain and blurriness indicating Optic Neuritis.



My last infusion was over around 3:45P.M., it had been started at 2:20 P.M. it took a bit longer and there was blood accumulated at the base of the needle which appeared to me as if it had bent, that is the needle and I was afraid it might have punctured the vein. I was squirmy in my sleep, but I did have a better respite last night and even napped for a while this afternoon. The sight appeared rather odd looking when the system was removed and so when it was cleansed with the alcohol swab I added in my own anti-biotic zinc medication on top, just to be cautious, having these things compromises your already compromised immune system ever so much more. And so most of these ways to aid in recovery from exacerbations from systemic ones to individual part ones like with your eyes and optic neuritis, are only done when all else has failed, actually the first go to for ON.

Just in: Peg, the nurse just called and said if the needle went through the vein I would feel pain, which I do not! WHEW! Nice touch, could have been wrong about her, wouldn’t be the first time… I don’t believe any of the others called back, but my memory isn’t always as good as it appears here, ha!

Another episode in the MS wars temporarily put on hold, I hope that it works anyway…low vision is also a part of this whole thing called Multiple Sclerosis and until my Momentum Magazine, from the National MS Society provides for us, came today. I did not know that was what I have been experiencing too. Many talk about it, but I did not understand it as well as I thought that I did. This article explains it much clearer than what was my thought on the topic. I suspect that I too have a bit of this low vision going on too. Hubby says during these last few days I have been a little more like a drunken sailor on my short jaunts with the walker from here to there, and my spillage has gone way up and knocking things I didn’t see over too…OH NO!

But in our world of MS, life goes on as with all life forms do, and as long as we breathe in and out we are here and know that there is a cure on the way, someday and soon, we all hope…!



On that note of a beginning for better days ahead, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
