Hey everyone,

Sorry i've been MIA lately.  life is HECTIC.  i just wanted to give everyone an update, i guess.  well, for those of you that actually care.  :) 

the Avonex treatment is going better then it was three months ago, thankfully.  the first 8 needles made me feel flu like and pretty much kept me up all night the day of.  which of course, takes about two days to bounce back from lack of sleep.  the last four have been better.  three have resulted in bad headaches, and the fourth, NOTHING.  sooooooo nice to not have a side effect.  i have to say, i've never feared needles, but doing something to yourself that kind of hurts, and makes you feel sick, it a little difficult to do. 

but, such is life.  hopefully the bad part is over now and i can start to feel better. 

i'm also getting married in 11 days, so i feel like i have two jobs!  and the first one was stress enough.  the fatigue is getting pretty bad at times, and i'm having some trouble coping with it, but i'll keep pushing along. 

anyway, that's it for now.  again, sorry i fell off the face of the earth there.  i missed coming here!

god, today a nurse comes to my place to teach me how to do my Avonex injections.  i'm a little nervous i guess.  i've never been afraid or nervous around needles (i think i like piercings to much! HA) but this is completely different and i'm not too excited. 

it's good to be starting treatment, i guess.  i was also hoping to begin the avonex on a friday, so i would have the weekend to be rid of any potential site affects.  no such luck.  hopefully i don't feel too asslike tomorrow and can come to work! 

i'm getting married!  my man proposed last night and caught me completely off guard! 

i'm one very lucky, happy girl.
