BRAINCHEESE: When Is Enough "Enough"?...

When Is Enough "Enough"?...

Ever have one of those moments in your life when, for whatever reason, you didn't pay attention to the Cosmic Road Signs along your life path? I'm having one right now...I was driving along my "path" a little too fast and a little too oblivious and there it was:

I slammed on my Cosmic Brakes, but I think it was a bit too late...my mode of transportation in this life appears to be swerving dangerously out of control. And, if I haven't already hit that magical "wall" so many talk about, I am careening toward it at break-neck speed.

I'm really not fond of living life this dangerously close to the edge...nor am I ever prepared for a "crash"...but then again, who is?

Thanks for the advice...I only wish my cosmic vehicle came with airbags instead of a "windy" driver. LOL

WOW! Wish I would have solicited YOUR advice about 10 crashes ago! LOL

Sara said...: Good Luck with the crash, sometimes I find it helpful to have a crash or as I like to call them "reset" moments in my life where I am forced to STOP & look at what's going on & then slowly restart, but maybe that's not what you're talking about, either way hope it's going better today.; 12:03 PM
Bubbie said...: Helmets can also make one hell of a fashion statement.; 1:47 PM

That's actually VERY good advice...a bit techno-geeky, but VERY good advice. LOL Thanks...hitting the reset button now...

MEDICATIONS:

I have taken Copaxone, Avonex, IVIg, Tysabri, and 5 doses of Novantrone in 2007. I also participated in a Rituxan Study in 2005-2006. In the fall of 2007, while still on Novantrone, I began having "break through" symptoms, which became more and more frequent. In March 2008, I had an MRI that showed many enhancing lesions--Novantrone was no longer effective. Tysabri had been discontinued in November 2006, due to a questionable "anaphylactoid reaction". I received my first restart dose of Tysabri on April 8th, 2008, without experiencing ANY allergic response...I completed 9 doses of Tysabri in 2008, but continued to have some relapsing symptoms. I have, since December 2008, stopped all Disease Modifying medications and feel great...but don't tell my neurologist!
