I'm Ken. I've had MS for 12 years or so. Stress from a few different things seemed to bring on my symptoms, which were mild at first, but a few years after my dx, my symptoms were so mild (and the idea of injecting myself scared me) so I blew off available injectable meds... then I had my first major exacerbation. I spent 6 days in the hospital getting IV Solumedrol. Suddenly, injecting meds didn't seem like such a bad idea. I started on Copaxone, then after neuro (I think of him as the Yoda of neuros) interviewed me for a couple of hours, he showed me research demonstrating that Beta Seron took effect sooner, so I switched to Beta. Not long after that, Beta didn't seem to work so well, so I switched to Rebif, which I've been on since December of 02. After I started shooting up (I like to be as dramatic as possible) I learned of MSWatch, a cool website that also had a chatroom I started visiting regularly. Eventually the MSWatch chatroom shut down, and a friend started her own chatroom called GG's Place. Lots of friends from MSWatch gravitated toward GG's place, and now some of us come here, to PeopleWithMS, which has the best emoticons I've ever seen! lol... and the people here are pretty darn cool too!!! |
