September-January (Includes MRI Results!)

Yes, this is a long post, but it’s covering so many months!!! 🙂 MS: No new symptoms to report. I did have my MRI and *drumroll* . . . it was stable! Which means NO new lesions since my last MRI and NO active lesions!!! 😀 I also saw my neurologist, and he was encouragingContinue reading “September-January (Includes MRI Results!)”

June/July/August 2022 Update!

I meant to do this after 2 months but I didn’t realize it had been so long since my last post! That’s okay, now I can summarize things. 🙂 MS: I’m starting to feel better now, but I’ve been really tired for maybe about a month or a little less.

January-May 2022 Update!

Obviously it’s been a while.

September Update

MS: No updates Other health related things: I wasn’t sleeping well for some reason and was really tired, but I finally bought a new mattress and I’m feeling a lot better. 🙂 I had what I think was a sort of mild but longer lasting migraine this month (I finally took one dose of medicationContinue reading “September Update”

July/August* Update

*Previously I was naming the posts based on when I wrote them, but I think it makes more sense to name them after the month they’re about.

June Update

MS: No updates. Other health related things: (Most importantly, any health issues I’m experiencing that could be autoimmune or at least affected by inflammation in my body, are important as markers, because if these things are getting better it could be a sign that the MS is getting better.) I started seeing an orthotropist forContinue reading “June Update”
