These boots were made for walkin!

I apologize for the lack of posting.  My Rebif injections are going swimmingly with my lovely nurse boyfriend!  He does almost all of my injections, and aside from the red spots, I feel ok!  Still no side effects.  I'm finding that I'm easily tired, but I'm managing it by eating well, taking vitamins, and the odd Alertec.  So far so good!  The Arnica gel is really helping with the red spots - if I get a red spot at all, it's more of a faint pink mark that fades relatively quickly.  I have a few spots that have a small purple bruise where the needle went in, but nothing as bad as I previously experienced.  I am a very lucky person.

Tonight was a small milestone for me!  My boyfriend wasn't here tonight so I couldn't depend on him to help me out.  I sat on the couch, got the Rebismart ready, and off I went!  I did a stomach injection totally by myself with almost no whining or complaining.  I didn't give myself enough time to freak out - I just pressed the button and was done with it.  I found it much easier to do the stomach injections while sitting up.

As a way to give back to those who have supported me, and those currently going through the same things I am, and for those who are worse off, better off, and anyone touched by MS - I have decided to put together a small team to participate in the MS Walk here in Vancouver.  The walk takes place on April 10th.  If anybody lives in the area and wants to participate, I would LOVE to have more team members!  Please contact me by commenting on this post and I will point you in the right direction to join my team.  For those of you that cannot participate but would like to pledge myself or my team, you can do so online directly through the MS Society at:

Any donations are GREATLY AND AMAZINGLY appreciated!!!!!  I will give shout-outs on my blog to anyone that donates, and by donating please know that I am eternally grateful.  The MS Society is extremely important and does so many great things for the community.  Without the MS Society, I would have nowhere NEAR the amount of support that I currently have.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support!!
