Neurologist, Part 2

I went to see my neurologist this morning. She’s awesome. One of the things we talked about is the fact that my liver doesn’t appearing to be functioning properly. It explains why I’m B12 deficient. Before anything else, she ordered another set of bloodwork to confirm her suspicions. If the bloodwork comes back as expected, I’ll be coming off the Rebif. That’s three injections a week I won’t need to deal with. Obviously, this makes me very happy. But there is a catch. I’ll also be starting B12 injections. That means an intial week where I have injections three times that week. After that, it’s a monthly injection. I can handle this. The problem is that it’s an intramuscular injection. While I’m not thrilled about this, it will hopefully get me over this “always tired” thing.

I need to wait a few days before the bloodwork comes back. Then we’ll know for sure.

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.
