Changing the meds
I picked up my prescription at Walgreens for the new dosage of Strattera. Well, it’s the partial prescription. The rest of it should be here Monday.
My neurologist says I’m doing okay. We want to do an MRI since I haven’t had one in a year or so. She also wants to change my meds. I’ve been on Avonex for almost three years now, and she’s concerned that I have to take prednisone in order to keep the side effects in check. We’re probably going on Rebiff. It’s basically the same thing except it’s three times a week and it’s a sub-cue injection instead of an IM injection. That will hurt less and have fewer side effects. She gave me the “information kit” that comes in it’s own duffle bag.
After three years, suddenly, my shot will become less of a big deal.

About
My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Boston with my pug, Reggie. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in January 2003 but have been living with MS for much longer than that. This is where you'll find my story, stories, and my history.
I want this site to be a place where people can read about my experiences with MS. I was fortunate enough to catch it really early and my results on drug therapies have been outstanding. This should be a place where people can realize that they can lead a normal life with MS. MS has changed my life, but it hasn't ended it.
