A Great Week.
Things have been rough for a while. My DMT served me well for about 15 years but I have seen my symptoms progress over the last couple of years - especially since November. I had to stop working and driving earlier this year (wasn’t confident in my braking ability). We also realized that we need to sell then home we raised our kids in. The stairs are just getting to be too much. Was feeling pretty low.
My neurologist and I thought it might be good to try a different DMT hoping it might help. Had my first dose of Ocrevus yesterday. Pretty tired for a few hours yesterday but none of major fatigue I had been warned about. Fingers crossed it is the same first week of August when I get my second dose. Fingers crossed that I may even get back to my old normal
Earlier in the week I took my first two hand control driving lessons. I was so nervous. I started off pretty shaky but have to say I got the hang og it after around z15 minutes. I am so excited at the prospect of regaining even a tiny bit of independence (and my wife is really excited about no longer being my chauffeur).
I know there are more than enough challenges ahead but today I am feeling so positive. I really think it is important to celebrate every win no matter how small.
Cheers to a great week!!!
