BRAINCHEESE: You's Guys Were A Hit!...

Well, I can't seem to go more than a month without lamenting about those Breast Cancer Awareness Folks...but THIS time, the news is also good for us little-known MS Awareness Folks!

Remember THIS post? The one where y'all donated your creative energy to help out my new friend, PennyAnn, with BC Awareness slogans for her fund-raising party? Well...she USED them...and turned several into coolio buttons for sale:

And, she has started her OWN blog to support her friends that are walking the 3-Day Walk For A Cure. If you are interested in hearing/reading more about her adventures, here's the link: Our Ladies Of Perpetual H.O.P.E. .

Now, off to turn the wonderful slogans for MS Awareness that SHE created into something...well...MS appropriate. Perhaps T-shirts? I'm not much of a button person...buttons don't ride well on canes and scooters...

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!
