Dreaming of you…ermm drugs?

31st January 2009 by Hellie

Very odd, just before I woke up this morning I recall dreaming about disease modifying drugs in all their glory. Not sure what the dream was I just know when I woke up I had the words rebif and copaxone floating around in my head. I think I might have dreamt of injecting myself in my leg. Very nice dream! This is what happens when you read books about the subject before bedtime.

happy happy joy joy…

30th January 2009 by Hellie

A friend of mine told me my blog was miserable…oh dear. I guess I have been venting a bit much here. Life really isn’t that bad. I am mostly a happy soul.  Also I am very excited about the arrival of our baby, I just tend to worry about things. Today however I feel very happy about things, it’s Friday and I have had a good and productive week both at work and home. The sickness is all gone, still tired and achy, but I take that over feeling sick anyday. And the MS symptoms are still laying low.

I heard…herd of elephants

29th January 2009 by Hellie

Yesterday when I was writing my last blog post I was so tired and achy I didn’t barely know what to do with myself. Dinner yesterday was easy, just to shove something in the oven for 20 mins, still I was so far gone in fatigue land I had to wait for Steve to come so the food could go in the oven. It was like my sofa was keeping me prisoner. When I get tired like this, it get’s very hard to talk to me, I have huge concentration difficulties and problems finding words. (more…)

Back to School

My nausea seems to have gone away, but sadly it was replaced with a backache and a splitting headache. Why is it that as soon as I was aware of being in the third trimester it seemed like my belly suddenly got huge, and my back aches all the time! Grrrr

Staying active

27th January 2009 by Hellie

I mentioned in a post before that I think the best way to combat fatigue is exercise. The subject of exercise seem to be a very hot topic at the moment, especially how to get kids and teens more active and fit. I think this is very important. Had 15-year-old me seen what 31-year-old me just wrote, she would probably have screamed at me and called me a traitor. When I was a teen I was very lazy, and I was very overweight (the clothes I had as a teen are still big on me and I’m six months pregnant). I didn’t really eat lots of sweets and unhealthy food; mostly it was due to inactivity. I used to hate (H-A-T-E, absolutely detest!) P.E. The only joy in it was that I fancied the super athlete in my class and there was the odd chance I would get to play on his team. (more…)
