Next steps

Remember yesterday and what I said about it looks like the time of year it is?  Well, cancel that for a bit.  Today there is no snow again and it is mild out.  We are supposed to get cold and probably snow on the ground again tomorrow morning.  How different the weather is this year.

Another chapter is opening for my life with multiple sclerosis.  I saw my trusted doctor yesterday and explained the side affects I seem to be having with the MS drug.  He has agreed to let me stop it but with conditions.  I keep with it until the end of next week when I have an MRI of my brain and spinal area.  He wants another baseline of where I am right now.  Once I have that I stop the medication and give it six months before seeing the doctor again unless I have problems.  If at six months I have held steady I am free of the drug but if having problems I will be put on a different one.  I think I am going to be okay just watching my diet and exercising as I do every day now and putting forth more effort to do more.  This is going to be kind of a scientific experiment.  I will keep posting my results.  Hoping for the best.

    When I first began reading your post here the song "what a difference a day makes" popped into my head.
