A wedding present

As a wedding present to myself, I skipped my shot the day before and the day of my wedding. I am now an old married hag and loving it. As if getting married wasn’t stressful enough… we are also buying a house. So far so good… though.

In MS news… I have my neurophysiology ALL DAY test September 1st. It is going to be a long day! I can’t wait to report here info when I have it.

Hopefully I’ll be posting more now that one major life change is out of the way.

Bad night

Well, I gave myself a shot at about 11:30PM and was in an insane amount of pain until about 2:30AM when I finally fell asleep. I called Shared Solutions at about 2AM and they were completely useless. They just told me how to do injections which I am not sure how that is even remotely useful at this point. None the less… they said they can’t help with anything else and to call my doctor.

Basically, I was having throbbing pain down my leg to my foot. I couldn’t get comfortable at all and my whole hip area was swollen. I haven’t experienced anything like that before. It seriously sucked.

I put some lidocaine on the bump and ice but still no good. I finally overdosed on advil and fell asleep. Today, the bump is red and painful but otherwise not nearly as bad.

Argh! I am so tired today.

Has anyone else had a similar reaction before?

Swine Flu

They released the medical history of the two people in the states that died from swine flu. Surprise Surprise, auto-immune disorders were the primary cause:

The 22-month-old child who died April 27 of the flu, also called H1N1, had neonatal myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease, said the report, which was written by a virus investigation team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. The child — who was from Mexico and who fell ill while visiting relatives in Texas — also had a heart defect, problems swallowing and chronic hypoxia, the report said.

The 33-year-old Texas woman who died last week was pregnant when she became ill, the article said. She had been diagnosed with asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

I was thinking it might be kind of cool to get the swine flu but I changed my mind now.

I missed a shot…

and I think I liked it.

Ok, not really but I have that silly I kissed a girl song stuck in my head. I like my version better.
