I noticed someone found my blog by googling the cost of MS. I think we all know the cost of MS is huge. The question is were they asking about the cost in financial, emotional or physical terms. I decided I would show the cost of MS for the 6 months in [...]

I must admit that I am getting tired of the shots. My leg shots are the worst. Last week it took three days for a lump to go away. I am pretty sure I hit the muscle since I could feel pain while walking but not sitting down. I only have [...]

MRI at lunch time == NAP TIME!!!

June 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment
