Hi guys! Haven't been around here lately, as I was hard at work on the blog (linked in my profile). Hope everyone's OK and keeping up with their lives.

Woo hoo my B12 is low. You are probably asking why are you so excited about your B12 being low? Because its treatable with B12 shots which means maybe my fatigue is not all MS. Lol. Crazy how excited we become when we are faced with something that is actually treatable.

My daughter called from school age 14 with a fever of 101 maybe flu. I asked my ex to pick her up because I can't afford to get the flu. Ugh. Im I a bad mom to put my health above taking care of her? Ugh feeling guilty.

I live in the US where this drug has not been approved yet for treatment of MS. I understand it is being used in Europe and Canada. Has anyone used this drug and if so what are the results. I hear good things.
