Hello everyone!
Been awhile since I posted but much hasn't been going on.
We went up North to Oscoda to see the In Laws and relax kith Kevin & Lauren. Before I went up I noticed that my left hand when I would wake up was very numb. It went away after a few hours so I thought nothing of it. Went the whole weekend the same way. However when we were heading home I started noticing other parts of my body falling asleep quickly.
Well I guess I am having my first relapse since starting Rebif! The medication is not designed to keep me from getting them ever or shortening them but reducing how many I have had. I would say one in an almost 6 month period is pretty good.
I am lucky that is is only in my left hand/arm. It started at the fingers and has now worked it's way up to my shoulder. It is making it difficult to type! Thank goodness for Spell check. Real lucky it has not gotten into the right hand or I would be really fucked! (Knock on wood)
Not sure how long it will last. Will have to wait and see. When I had my first bout it took almost 2 months to fully recover from the side numbness. The left fingers are the worst. They are numb/tingly but will start to feel painful if I type much longer.
Just figured I would update anyone that cares and this is a good way to keep a Journal of any relapses for myself. Will keep you updated if anything else happens. Pretty tired most days, can barely stay awake to watch the 11 o'clock news most nights.
Still too good to start collecting Disability Insurance and still haven't gotten the Handicap sign for my car yet. Maybe with the new one!
Have a good one!
