Stress, stress, stress and hello flare

[Thinkimjob]

On the plus side, I'm still having flares, so might not be SPMS after all.

On the minus side, I'm in the middle of a flare right now. Cognitive issues have been joined by inability to walk ten steps issues.

Too much work, too much worry, just plain too much.

So much for Copaxone. I don't think I can have another lot of IV 'roids - do you think twice in five months would be okay?

Had to start taking blood pressure tablets after the last session.

Ah well, doctor tomorrow. She'll be at her wit's end.

Hope your dr. appointment goes well! I do not call the neuro unless it is something new or I just can't go from day to day. Today every part of my body aches and I just want to sleep. Sitting at work on a computer is not very entertaining. But I will endure! I've been on copaxone for 7 months now and it is painful every injection. BUT it is worth it if it slows the progression down! Let us know what DR. reports!

Steroids 2x in 4 months

Steroids twice in 5 months is certainly doable, I recently came off steroids for the second time in 4 months. The second flare made me pause and consider my medication options as it does not appear that Copaxone is working as well for me as it used too.
Best of luck on your appointment!
