Cursing the MS Gods

I spent all day cursing the MS gods.  I have PT every Tuesday morning and the last thing my therapist does before i walk out of her office is stretch me out – it’s my favorite part of every session.  Well this morning was no different, except she did a new stretch – ok, no biggie.  while i was walking out, i felt a little out of sorts, but i just chalked it up to the new stretch and paid it no mind.  i get home and 3-4 hrs later i find that i am still feeling and walking really badly.  I’m thinking, “ok, must tell Allison that she can do that stretch no more because i can’t have it messing up my entire day like this again.” 

little background here…my alarm starts going off at 6:45 when i have to go to work (i say start because boy do i snooze), then it goes off again at 8 for medication.  Well on Tuesdays, i have to wake up earlier because my appts are at 7:30.  So i have a separate 1 set to wake me up on Tuesday mornings and the 1 at 8 doesn’t even go off because that’ll be in the middle of our session, so i take the meds just before i leave the house.   
As usual, at 4:00 i get the reminder (no alarm during the week, i just have an Outlook reminder) to take the afeternoon pills and wouldn’t u know it  – the am pills were still in that section.  Funny thing is, i have a vague recollection of taking them, but who knows maybe that memory was from yesterday – altho i could swear that it was this morning.  This has happened before so i am confident that it had nothing to do with the new stretch or the MS per se, it was just the fact that i didn’t take the pills!
So now, the MS gods are looking down and cursing ME for once again blaming them/it when they did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Oh Shit!

so I called my mother last nite to give her my good news.  We’re talking, just about the medication in general – side effects, how it will affect me, when will i see improvements, etc – when she says, “what about alcohol?  can u drink while taking it?”  wait a minute…i have NO idea!!!  WDH???  i had no clue…how did i NOT ask my doctor that question?  I asked him all kinds of questions and didn’t ask him the most important one!!!

Now, don’t get me wrong…i am no alcoholic, but i enjoy some of the finer things (vodka, caipirinhas) in life at times :-).  who doesn’t?

I’ve called and left him a message..hopefully someone will get back to me sometime today!  Ayeyayaye!!!!
