About Me
Benign MS...since 2000 In Dec. 2006 had a bout of ON and was diagnosed in Feb. 07 Started Rebif on st patty's day 2007 I have had 3 major relapses, the second one was my worst so far and had to take a medical leave of absence from my work for 6 weeks. Started seeing Psych. and Therapist because of depression issues, and I was in hospital over night because of a steroid induced psychosis because of Prednisone. I am one of the lucky ones who can't take Prednisone. I need to avoid the heat and stay cool!
