    About Me

    FUCK MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS! ::It's a cold, having just been mugged feeling.:: ::You watch me like a ten-car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity. This looking down at the tops of the hats of us passers-by from your seventh floor balcony.::

    Interests

    Somehow morphing MS from an autoimmune disease into the form of a person so i can beat the living shit out of them. Murder, son. Oh, and blowing up the Smirnoff distillery.

      I am so sorry! You are having my Monday. Just the thought of food made me sick and I had to cook! Now just left with headache and bowel spasms. Drink plenty of fluids if you can stomach them and keep the faith. Tomorrow will be a better day!

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      My name is Lisa. On January 26th i went to the ER after a few days of double vision. They ran some tests and admitted me into the hospital. I went through an MRI and on Jan. 28th, 2008 I was diagnosed with MS. It's not easy. I experience relapses very frequently. I've never felt so down on myself and my future. MS is my enemy and that fucker is winning.

      Treatments

      Copaxone Too Soon to Tell
      Started on the 21st of March. I've been on it for over 3 months now and already experienced two relapses. Hopefully this shit kicks in and starts doing it's job. I still think it's nothing more than vinegar.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      I've taken it so much that it doesn't effect me anymore. So when i have a relapse i have to grin and bear it.
      Solumedrol Working / Worked
      Turned me into a complete psychopath. A drowsy, weak, psychopath. But it works. And that's all that matters.
    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have Fibromyalgia with acute Allodynia as a result of my MS. Woo, life just keeps getting better!

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Cleared up my symptoms with absolutely no side effects. I still take it in fear that if i don't everything will come back, though.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I finally went and saw a psychiatrist at the prompting of the MS center because they said i was chronically depressed. NO SHIT! The psychologist said there was no question about it. As if i didn't already know.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Not Working
      I was prescribed the generic of Zoloft when i got out of the hospital after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I never gave it a chance to work, though.
      Anafranil Not Working
      I took it once. The psychiatrist said if i was going to find the right med i had to at least try them. Well 2 before bed and i spent 5 hours violently vomiting in the middle of the night. Thats enough for me to shoot something down. When your body expels something outside of the natural course of digestion chances are its telling you its bad.
