a couple of beginnings

Tonight, will be my last Rebif dose of 20%. I really hope that the theory behind titration works for me!

I have had a couple of post topics on my mind lately, but I have not transferred my thoughts to the screen. I want to share my thoughts on how, in my situation, MS has effected my family and friends. But I am not confident that I can clearly begin to describe the reality. However, I think that it is important because I want to share my experience in the most honest and thorough way, and the effect on the people in my life can appear to be overlooked if I just discuss my battles.

I also should share with you, my "hurdle du jour", which isn't just today, but everyday. I have been experiencing an increased difficulty in finding words, saying the right words, remembering things, hearing things correctly, and executing tasks (like brushing my teeth) in the same manner as I have for at least three years. I guess that these refer to cognitive difficulties. Trouble finding the right word in conversation, has been present from day one. However, only just recently have these cognitive difficulties caused stress for Jason and I, as the frequency and severity has increased.

On a positive note, yesterday, I went out in the car by myself. woohoo!

Share with you later,

Emily
