    • About Me

      I'm a high school science teacher, 34 (almost 35 - b-day next week!) and I teach non-English speaking students. It's a challenge but a very rewarding one.

      I love to travel, cook, speak Italian. I lived in Italy for 5 years, and I play the viola with a community symphony orchestra. I love animals, family, being outdoors, swimming in the ocean.

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      Diagnosed September 2003 after bout of optic neuritis. Since then have had 2 major exacerbations (one ongoing now) related to tingling and pain in hands (palms) and electric jolts through the body.

      Treatments

      Avonex Working / Worked
      I like the weekly injection - easier to do, only need to think about it 1x a week. However, it may not be doing enough for me. Still TBD.
      Solumedrol Not Working
      I did 2 rounds, one for each exacerbation, but neither really worked.
      Neurontin Not Working
      Still taking it but not much has happened.
      Pamelor Too Soon to Tell
      Just started it.
