Journal Entry for October 5, 2007
They drew blood at ER. Then gave me a shot to get rid of headache seems to be working. they think its migrane realted if there is no improvment or things get worse i am to go back tuesday for a catscan.
This is my 1st journal entry and my 2nd day on tx. I was diagnosed in January and have been hanging around this site a couple of months, making friends, and learning about this disease. It has taken 5 months to get to tx...waiting on all the various tests and insurance approvals and mail order pharmacy hassles . Finally.. finally 1st shot day rolled around on Tuesday. My 1st shot was so easy. Tuesday night and Wednesday I had a headache on & off and felt like I was in a fog. Today I feel really good, no headache and only some minor minor body aches that come and go. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting on the potential giant tidal wave of sides that may or may not come. My husband is amazed at how I am doing. I told him lets not take this for granted...things may change. But these last 2 days have almost been anticlimactic after the 5 long months of waiting. I debated as to whether or not to even do a journal, my stay at home life is not too exciting right now. Don't want to bore anyone lol. But I decided it may possibly help someone else and also it may be a nice record for myself to look back on & see how I was doing on past days. I just love this DS site and am so grateful for the amazing and truly wonderful friends I have meet here ( I love you girls!). Keep your fingers crossed, maybe I will be lucky and only have "light" sides for the most part. I am so happy that I feel this good right now...I'll just be grateful to God and enjoy it while it lasts and try to remember to be positive when I'm not feeling good if and when that happens. Remind me of this later will you. Hugs Jeannie

Today is a bad day. My left shoulder hurts today and I can barely lift that arm. I started to get a headache about 10:30 this morning that has gradually gotten worse until I finally had to lay down about 2:00pm. It is now 5:30 and the headache is ...
Tuesday's Inspiration: This day holds joys just waiting to be discovered.
Hi Jeannie. I'm so glad to read that you aren't having too much in the way of sides and I hope it stays that way for you. I am glad you are starting a journal because it really does help me to be able to read other people's first-hand experiences with this. I can read the published stuff all day long and still wonder what's what but when I read a first-hand account it makes things seem more clear. Hugs to you too!! Mary

I will LOL :) I am happy for you. Glad to finally see a journal entry :) Who cares what you write about. That is how I feel in mine, LOL, I am sure you have gathered that already! It is for me to get my thoughts down, some are even locked only for me, and then I am sure someone will get something out of my ramblings. LOL But lately all I talk about is potty training ciz I am just setting around waiting to see if my body does this ya know...uggggg :) anyways I am so happy for you!
