Mandatory Rest Period

The MS clinic wasen't able to schedule all my appointments into one day last month so I'm finishing up my Neuro Opth dialate-your-eyes-with-crazy-awful-drops appointment and Pulmonary Function test tomorrow. And then, I think I have a break until middle of December before I go back for more blood and all that jazz.

I'm still happy being on the clinical trial for Fingolimod. I know I'm on it for sure now being in the extention and it seems to be doing what it's supposed to be doing. My numbness and fatigue have really ramped up in the last week, but it's been over a year since I've had a relapse. Yay! I'll see where the numbness gets up to before making the dreaded "I think I'm having an attack" phone call to my nurses. So far, the burning is staying at my shin level and only casual numbness, no burning up to my mid thigh. Charming sensation isn't it?
