I am doing all right. The pain as eased up on me. It seems to strike at night when I'm trying to sleep, of course. It has been a fairly good day. My son x-rays did not reveal any abnormal however they do want to do explorary surgery as they believe there is a blockage going on. As far as I can remember he has never had surgery. He had a few stiches and was in the hopsital when he was 18 months old from a nasty stomach bug that was going around. I hope whatever it is they find is easily fixed. He is my oldest baby. I know he is not a baby but he is still my child and I am concerned. He has always been healthy and so has my other son.  I am exhausted but that is normal for me. I'm late in eating so I am going to do that and later work out some.  It seems like the side effects from the Avonex are getting milder, I hope. Well, at least it wasn't as bad as it's been. Maybe my body takes longer to adjust.. I will take whatever I can get. <grin>.
