Secret Depression Diary Archive - Copaxone and Canine Gestation
I'm skimming what I just wrote below and thinking don't hit post. So... POST. I've had my Epilepsy under control for a few months and now I focus on Multiple Sclerosis. I'll start Copaxone next week after my regularly scheduled MRIs and labs. It's here. It's in my refrigerator. Did you know that a pregnant dog carries her puppies for an average of 63 days prior to birthing? It takes nearly as long for my Neuro's office to fax my prescription for Copaxone to the right place with the correct prescription information. It took 52 calendar days to get my Neurologist's office to correctly fax my freaking prescription! I love calling 3x per week, staying on hold an hour and leaving detailed messages for those rude a-holes. My pharmacy only took 24 hours to fill the prescription. They rule! I love my pharmacy folks! They are always friendly and helpful. I still need to buy a few supplies to perform these injections. My neurologist's office didn't send The Form to Shared Solutions who provide training and supplies for free, given your doctor sent The Form. Shared solutions cannot get a response from them either. I have my meds though! I will start my injections next week after my MRIs and lab work.posted 7 months ago
Happy 2016!

MS aside for a moment. I've spent my life as an entrepreneur, adventurer, pioneer, scientist, nurturer and general mischief maker.

Somebody asked me quite snarkily over 20 years ago what it was going to be like in 20 years when I'm an old grandma with tattoos and piercings. I have an answer now. It rules.

I probably spent yesterday laughing with my grandkids.

I love a diverse range of music and it's always cool to find new sounds or get suggestions. If it reminds you of 70s Brian Eno, it's probably something I would enjoy. Industrial Bollywood hip hop? Likely. Indie rock with lots of strings. Yes.

I'm always looking for some cool funny sciency philosophical book to read. ---//---
My Dx for MS was May 2015 but I've been having significant neurological issues for years. ----
MS - the Special Sitcom episode:
The last thing the nurse said to me after the lumbar puncture was "I hope you don't have MS". I immediately received a post-puncture Coca Cola with bendy straw AND an official MS diagnosis a few weeks later. Jinx. Pretty sure that nurse owes me another Coke.
