my birthday gift..copaxone

so the betaseron was making me like shit every other day or more. plus it left red "chemical" burns on my injection sites and those will take a while to heal and go away.

so dr. orfuss is putting me on copaxone. it's an every day injection and is supposed to be more tolerable than betaseron.

my EEG is actually on monday the 5th. my doc and i talked about it. and he's concerned, very concerned about my seizures, twitching, inability to talk when it's happening, etc. he asked again what kind of falls i had while training for show jumping. some i thought weren't so bad, might be causing these to happen. but we can't be so sure just yet.

ok, i'm tired, i would rather be taking pictures or playing outside with jayden. but the air quality sucks the big one. you can barely make out the downtown skyline from my place and i'm not even half a mile from the center either.....

Take my advice-

Either get back in school....(I'm extreemely pleased with my decision that's costin me a 30 Grand)

Or that new entertainment center just opened up downtown and they need to HIRE...

They'll get performers and if you're there then maybe you can take PICTURES....

YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE

Love,

John

PS-NOW STOP WHINING AND GET MOTIVATED.

PLEASE GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND TAKE ALL THIS NEGATIVE CRAP AND TELL IT TO GO TO HELL.

PLEASE GET ANY JOB THAT WILL GET YOUR MIND OFF YOUR MS.

WE ARE ALL SYMPATHETIC BUT THROWING A PITY PARTY EVERY WEEK IS NOT GOOD. (I've done it myself)

MAKE 35 YOUR BEST YEAR YET.

Love you (again)

John

Deirdre has been doing an excellent amount of work to promote herself and take care of Jayden and deal with all the other other crap life has thrown at us. And she does get out the house. We both have been working our asses off to improve our lives. I have been working on an independent film on the weekends while Deirdre has been building new website and passing out cards to prospective clients.We have made some investments in new equipment to stay competitive. All this while she was having a very difficult time with her MS. Hopefully with the right medicine she will find some relief. We appreciate all the support and love from our friends.
