Optic Neuritis is a bummer!

Sorry it has been awhile since I posted.  My MS flared up for the first time in over five years.  My left eye was blurry and had a horrible pain behind it.  I mistakenly thought it was just allergies giving me a headache and lived with it for over a week.  A call to my local doctor , led to a call to my neurologist, which led to driving to Houston that day.  A round of IV steroids and I am finally feeling better, not sleeping well, but feeling better.  When I am on steroids they mess with my sleep and I tend to eat more.  I also get to take a taper dose of steroids for the next ten days.

I have missed the first part of the month so here is a list what I am thankful for in a November so far.  I am thankful for a loving husband of twenty years, two beautiful girls that I am extremely proud of, a wonderful family, friends that are always by my side, my doctors that keep me going, the Maxine Mesinger Multiple Sclerosis Clinic for the awesome care, a job that has always been understanding, a happy home to call my own, my husband's stable job that provides excellent health care, my furry babies that provide unconditional love and finally today, Veterans Day, everyone who has fought for our freedom!
