After nearly eight years...

of being on my injectable MS medication Copaxone I am going off of it as of this Friday.
Lynn ARNP in my neuro Dr. Montoya's office and I discussed what I have been having going on.
From the peripheral neuropathy, numbness, that stays for the last few years at my injection sites, to nightly itching and hyperhidrosis (my internal thermostat is broken) all might very well be associated with side effects from my MS medication, even after all these years.
So I am trying this experiment with being monitored. It should take as little as right away to be out of my system to six weeks.
Any problems, I am to call, as always.

My other issue is with my fall of March 21 st, last month, that I have been feeling badly ever since; I will be getting two MRIs tomorrow, cervical and thoracic where the pain is most prevalent. I will probably end up in pain management.

Many of these problems have been the cause of my inability to gain a good night's sleep!

As far as the left eye orbit bruising goes, it appears that is most likely due to my left sinus again that did appear as a problem on my brain MRI in January; although, I had thought they were telling me about my old info about my previous issue that I had surgically fixed a few years back, but no this is it again, chronic! Lynn offered antibiotics, but I said that many don't work anymore.
So a new ENT was called and sent info to contact me for an appointment.The one that did my surgery, Dr. Moss, originally has since retired.
Oh well... if ONLY!
WELL that is!

Always something...
For the last couple of days Aussie's tummy issue has returned, although he eats normally, plays normally too. It might be all those foreign "all natural" homemade treats he consumed at the Earth Day Festival, who knows, but it started just after.
I suppose we still must be very careful with what Aussie eats, including his tasting of EVERYTHING outside!
So until the last minute we are not sure about his class tonight.

Always something, hmm?
Still looking for happy daily!

Happy good night all!

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