"MS can take a hike for all I'm concerned"

Cluck Cluck Cluck

 Ok... so I chickened out.

I was ready to go, cleaned a little patch on my tummy, put the Rebismart on there... annnnnnnnnd nothin.

Promptly cleaned a little area on my left leg - done and done.  Once again, a little drop.  I'll have to call Multiple Support next week to fix up the settings!

I know I'm supposed to rotate my injection sites, but injecting into my stomach on Wednesday SUCKED.  I couldn't bring myself to do it.  I will need to work up to injecting in my stomach.

I feel pretty bad about chickening out, but I still injected somewhere which I was pretty proud of.  I called my boyfriend, and he wasn't very impressed that I injected into my leg.  A little bit of "hey babe that's ok, next time you'll be able to do it!" would have been nice, but whatever.  Such is life.

I'm trying to figure out a game plan to get over this fear of pain!!!  So far, I'm only comfortable injecting into my legs and I can't do that each time.  I need to rotate the injection sites! My boyfriend will be here on Monday night for my next injection.  It might work if I close my eyes and he presses the button.

I am now off for TWO DAYS!  No work, no injections, no waking up early.  I'm puppy sitting my friend's dog right now, and I'm surrounded by puppy love, a warm couch and blanket, and the peace of mind that I do not have to do ANYTHING tomorrow!  WOOOOOHOOOOO!

I've had a killer headache since I came home.  Just letting some time pass before I take the puppies outside, and then I'm crawling into my warn comfy bed.  Injection days make for restless sleep.  I haven't been able to distinguish if it's the Rebif or the anxiety of the injections that cause me to toss and turn all night.

  1. Way to go kiddo! This isn't just something simple like 'returning pop cans' or 'cooking dinner' this is mentally and psychially straining! I'm glad that you are staying confident. Boourns on the boyfriend, kick him in the shins! You'll get there!

    Hope you enjoyed your puppy loves and got lots of snuggles!
