I’m addressing the secondary effects with this post. Everything hurts right now, even clothes. I might recall a bit of this sensitivity with the solumedrol in years past. I remember this all going along with the side-effects of the prednisone. But honestly, I’ve no idea how much or how little the addition of the Lemtrada treatment is involved. I’ve been hungry full-time since the treatment started a week ago, but am not giving-in to those alleged pains. I work too hard to stay in shape to have any drug dictate whether I will remain there. My skin is hyper sensitive, my muscles are likely trying to not atrophy, my jaw aches, my eyes are strained and twitching, my throat hurts to swallow, but at least I’m alive and double bonus, I don’t have to do shots any more. Have I mentioned I’m hungry? Line-up the racks of ribs, please. Sauce is irrelevant. This shark is going for bait. Just give me the darn cow. And all the other sources of red meat, seafood, and birds too within a 1 mile aeronautical radius… I could eat a menu. You think I’m kidding. Just give me creatures. All the creatures, minus bugs. I’m going neanderthal-style. But I’ll settle for an almond bar. And another in ten minutes. Just give me the box of bars. Wrappers too. And another yogurt. I’m a grazer and eat mini meals all day anyway. But enough about my starvation diet right now…
I might recall a bit of this with the solumedrol making everything sensitive and easily irritated, but everyone and by everyone, I mean B and I know after I broke my ankle in ’07 – count the hardware – seven places when I slipped on our sloped driveway #zeroice #klutz and mislabeled it a sprain #wannabedoctor in ’07 that I have an exceptionally high pain tolerance and a clear fondness for sprained fractured broken bones #bruised egos when my narrow frame landed on my kiester #crackedbutt only to land on top of the aforementioned ankle. So it boils down to how much I can take right now. A lot. #jihadistsdontbotherwithjenn. The I-V infusion ended last Friday, but the prednisone party is overstaying its welcome and will not leave the building. I always put myself on the “quick-healing” plan because that’s optimal and ultimately, I’m a bad patient. #failuretofolloworders #zeropatience
In other news, I’m first in my fantasy league. #onlygirlinleague My QB Mr. Brady #deflategate was suspended the first four weeks of the NFL season so my standing has nothing to do with him. What I keep learning is that some NFL players #beckham are temperamental and he’s a thorn, but I literally cannot trade him so he takes up space on my roster. We just finished Fantasy week 10 and I’m 7-3-0. My husband helped me only twice in 10 weeks to advise me whether to replace two useless injured players. OB is a thorn right now, but perspective Jenn… I survived a week of intense MS infusion treatment last week. I can see. I can hear, and I can walk among lots of other abilities I’m guilty of taking for granted. Thank you, Jesus that I don’t have to do shots anymore. Thank you, Jesus for B and Baby-Girl and thank you once again for the Lemtrada opportunity and for everything else you continue to provide. Please forgive my judgement toward OB, but please also inspire him to play like he means it and gets decent points every week. Amen.
