My husband lost his insurance in February and I am no longer taking any injections.  I really don't know how to feel about this because I really didn't like them to begin with.  Since I don't take an every other day injection it's easier for me to forget that I have MS and not think about it as much.  Because I didn't even have a chance to use it for a full 6 months I don't know if it was helping me anyway.  I lost 10 lbs using the injections.  I don't even know if that's normal because now I can't go to the doctor since I no longer have insurance.  I didn't do anything different to lose the weight but I don't mind really since now I am at my ideal weight.  Since I am no longer on a drug therapy I'm really relying on prayer, my faith, and GOD to carry me thru.  And nothing has really changed since I have stopped using it except I no longer I have to worry about the side effects that I was having when I was on it.  My body still feels the same.  The drug never stopped the sensations or pain that I was having.   I'm still fatigued like I was before and during the drug therapy.  I just don't know.  But GOD will make a way. I have become use to how I am.  I mean the way I have weakness on my left side, the different sensation to touch on my left side, the pain in my legs, the forgetfullness, etc.  It's normal to me.  What can I do about MS? Ignore it. Pretend it isn't there.  It's worked so far.  But it hasn't really worked has it? Because I'm talking about it now.  Oh well, life goes on, and I'm going to go along with it. I wonder if this sounds depressing, I hope not.  GOD'S blessed me, it could be worse.
