Still fighting after all these years!

It's been a really long time since I posted on my blog, so a quick update.

I switched from Copaxone injections last May, 2013.  I've been taking the oral medication, Tefidera ever since.

It's pretty good for the MS, but I have issues with the flushing.  I think I get the flushing more than "they" expected it to last.

I've had a cold for the last two weeks, not kidding, that I'm still fighting and makes me fatigued to a point - but fatigue is completely different then it used to be before I started the Tefidera!

My kids are growing fast!  My BFF will be here soon!  My family is still my greatest support and we're gearing up for Walk MS 2014.

I started a Booster Campaign to not just raise money for our walk this year, but to raise awareness of MS.

If you'd like to purchase a shirt - please go here: https://www.booster.com/walkmspamelasteam2014

Then wear the shirt to help raise awareness!!

I hope all is doing well.
Oh - one more thing... please don't leave comments about Lyme Disease on this blog.  Don't you think after having multiple MRIs, spinal tap, blood draws, and other tests that the best Neurologist in my area would know whether I have lyme disease or MS?  Lyme Disease doesn't leave lesions on your brain or spinal column.  Please comment responsibly.
