Well, well.. I have to say I have been meaning to log-in to this site for quite some time to post something, but what?! :) Things are going well, no exacerbations/relapses, hence the lack of MS activity postings since late 2012. Life is going great, busy and it will get busier since summer is right around the corner.

On 5/20 Casey accompanied me to a local lunch MS Event I had registered for (and it was also his birthday). The topic was 'Intro to the 3-times a week Copaxone 40mg experience' where as I am still on the 7-times a week (daily) 20 mg Copaxone injections. Other than the event's informative topic, we also learned about some new tools such as the new phone app to record my injections (vs the paper book I receive yearly) and injection site updates. I also learned that I should have a new autoject every yr to yr & half. I was not aware of this at all, so I have been using the same autoject since 5/2007. I called and requested a new autoject and received not one, but two yesterday. I was told the reasoning for the new autoject is because the spring within the device can weaken; however, mine has been working just fine but it's always a good idea to have extras should something occur.

I will try to be better and add posting more frequently, but as I say, if there aren't any new postings, well hey, that is a good thing :) Have a great summer & remember to reapply yur sunscreen!
