 About Me
I was diagnosed with MS in Dec. 2000, have been on Avonex since Jan. 2001. It has worked good for me, no exacerbations. I switched to a much shorter needle Fall 2007, 5/8" 25g, I am fairly thin. I do all shots in my thighs. I used to drive a Big Truck. I Scuba dive, have dove some of the great Shipwrecks. Still dive, just take a lot of pictures now. Truk Lagoon again next year! Maybe Red Sea in 2010! I belong to a great Discussion Group, The High Rollers Social Club. We meet every Wed. I will do the MS Walk this April 20, just do 1 mile now. LKMSA Team. See picture below
