In the last 10 days, I have gone off of my betaseron because it was making me very sick.  I have developed tremors in my arms (resting tremors).  I gained 8 pounds – probably partly a result of me quitting taking the betaseron (I have taken it for about 8 years).  I have a slightly “slow” thyroid — and am on some medicine.  I have had a TN attack — this is my third day of incredible pain.  The meds make me sick, but I am being diligent with taking them.

And… (wait for it… …wait for it…) My botox injections obviously have had an undesirable effect…

My droopy left eye 😦

My left eye is drooping — just keeping it real folks!  I am going to have to figure out a make-up trick for this one!  I have a follow-up with my neurologist on Wednesday and hopefully they can fix it.

The Lord giveth  and the Lord taketh away…blessed be the name of the Lord.”
