BRAINCHEESE: Light The Blogger Candle...

Light The Blogger Candle...

Words escape me right now. I just visited Sherry's blog (Have Myelin?) and learned her daughter passed away today. There is little one can say to comfort a bereaved mother, so I will not waste effort here.

I am instead lighting a BLOG CANDLE for Sherry and her daughter and hope you might also do the same on YOUR blog or, if you do not author a blog, light a symbolic candle in your heart.

Though miles may separate us, there is more than MS that bonds us all. That glue, my friends, is LOVE...

Peace, comfort, and LOVE to you, Sherry.

Came here before posting today and read about Sherry's daughter.

Have decided to do the same post on my blog.

Hope you do not mind that I kept some of your words but felt they summed it up so well.

Take care,

Love,

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!
