It's been a few weeks since I've posted so here's an update. I now (finally) have my Avonex shipments set up and am taking the full dose of Avonex each week. I did miss almost a week due to insurance issues which changed my injection day from Friday to Wednesday. This actually works out better because I don't feel like garbage for the weekend. The night of my first full dose I had chills (it was 90 degrees and humid) and I'm sure I had a fever. I did feel better by morning and was able to work with no issues except for being very tired. This didn't happen last week so maybe it was a one-time deal and I'll have smoother sailing with it from now on.
I am feeling better these past few days. I still have some mild numbness in my right hand and the numbness/tingling in my feel is almost gone. My legs do get a mild tingling from the waist down. This comes and goes. I have more energy lately which is nice.
Only a few more days of school and I am out for summer vacation. This worries me a bit because I am typically pretty active with my two kids and want to be able to do things with them this summer, too. I'll just take it one day at a time....
