I always had trouble spelling those words...would always get them confused....Now, I'm one of those patients with not a lot of patience. I have no choice but to learn it....
I am finally allowed to start my MS medication. My doc gave me the choice of 2, Betaseron and Rebif. Those are the 2 with higher potency. He didn't want me with one of the other ones since I wasn't responding to all the other stuff as well as he had hoped. I chose Betaseron. It's been around the longest. The side effects don't seem quite as bad. And it's made from E-coli, not the ovaries of Chinese hamsters....
I got my training kit delivered to me yesterday, and the actual medicine will be here tomorrow. Unfortunately the training nurse can't get here until Monday to show me how to inject myself. This is where the patience part is coming in. I can not wait to start this stuff!!! It's not supposed to help any symptoms I already have, but is supposed to slow the progression of the disease.
I'm a little nervous about it, too. It's supposed to make you feel bad...actually, to quote my doctor, "It's going to be a little rough for a few months." Months? Really? Ok, fine. Let's get it going while I'm still only allowed to work 4 hours a day.
Come on, people! Let's hurry up and slow this stuff down!
