    • About Me

      I am Mom to a pre-teen son, am divorced, I have great friends and family although my family is not close by which means I have limited options in terms of asking for help when I need it. I'm an Academic Advisor and work full-time.

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

      I was diagnosed in June 2005 and have been on Copaxone since then. Overall I am doing well. I do have some numbness on my right side and am not able to sense heat on that side as well. Each summer is an adventure...the heat and humidity are not my friend. I have multiple other health issues - presently dealing with my 2nd DVT and pulmonary embolism in both lungs, not 100% satisfied with the medical care where I live...it's not the most current.

      Treatments

      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I still have site reactions but for the most part no major complaints
      Solumedrol Working / Worked
      Makes me sort of manic. It hasn't helped with the numbness and tingling but initially did help reduce the size of my first lesion.
    • Close Pulmonary Embolism

      Was recently diagnosed with DVT (my second) and bilateral PE. I also happen to have MS.

      Treatments

      Lovenox Working / Worked
      Coumadin Working / Worked
      IR levels are all over the place.
    • Open Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

      Just diagnosed 2 weeks ago with my 2nd DVT and PE. Also have MS.

      Treatments

      Coumadin Working / Worked
      My levels are all over the place.
      Lovenox Working / Worked
      I give myself an injection once a day so adding Lovenox wasn't too bad. I only had to give myself Lovenox for a few days once I was home.
