Rebismart is good.
We tinkered with the comfort settings before the injection last night, and it was grrrr-eat!
And for the first time, I injected myself in my arm. The Rebi makes it easier to reach all of the suggested injection areas: it's easy to hold because of it's size (and weight) and it doesn't take effort to hit the button.
It's good.
Tomorrow night, it's the back hip...and Jason's first go at it.

What Was With That Injection?
Posted in Rebif, Rebismart on Saturday, March 27, 2010 by Emms
I'll have to talk more about my smart injections next week. Why? Because I need at least one more under my belt to remember what it was like.
I don't think that the process was quiet, and that may be what threw me off the most with the first one. The association between the discomfort (a strange kind of pain) in the injection area, that is obviously related to the mechanical noise being held in my hand, resting against my thigh.
And, I hit a vascular area.
Does that sound complicated?
That's how I feel.
With the Rebismart, you can adjust the speed in which the needle pierces your skin, the depth in which it sits in your tissue, the speed of the medication coming down the needle, and how long the needle sits in your tissue after the medication has drained. There is a lot to customize.
On a different note...
I had my first appointment with my new GP doctor this week...and I like her. She has ordered an MRI of my brain! She couldn't believe that I haven't had one since April 2007. She orders her patients, who live with MS, one MRI per year. She believes that it is important to know what is going on, what's coming.
Have I found a partner in looking after my health?

I Did It!
Posted in on Thursday, March 25, 2010 by EmmsI have something to share with you!
This is take number five...next time, I'll work on the lighting, and maybe have a better idea of what I want to say.
Why a video post?
I wanted to try the Rebismart device because I need to "spice up" injection days. Everything is going great with the injections, but I still wanted to take advantage of this exciting, electronic opportunity.
So in the spirit of "spicing things up"... I though that I would try a video.
Please tell me what you think,
