Such a Good Day

Well I am so happy today because I am feeling great, yes the world is still bleak..no job ect ect ect But I feel awesome because I feel like myself today..no pain, everything feels awesome.

I decided yesterday I was tired of coping with the pain and walked to the clinic. I told the Doc everything about having MS and my facial pain but I divulged too much information, and he pretty much thought I should wait until I see my Neurologist next month to figure out what to do with my facial pain and he prescribed an anti inflammatory to help with the pain in the mean time. It's basically stronger Advil. I have figured out doctors, they never like to give you an antibiotic, it's a last resort.
They like to try a million other things. I know the pain I have around my face has to do with my sinus's, it happened to me before I had MS...always in the summer..always the same pain and the only thing that stopped it was an antibiotic, even back then I had so much trouble convincing the doctor that is was an infection that couldn't be treated with nasal sprays and pain killers.

So I am happy because I didn't give up, Kyle took me minutes before closing to another clinic, I told them only about my previous sinus infections and that nasal sprays and other treatments don't help, only an antibiotic got rid of it and so the lady at the clinic reluctantly prescribed me an antibiotic and I have taken only 2 so far and I feel like myself again. This makes today so awesome! I know that next month I might be complaining about different discomfort as I will be staring my MS injections once a week. The Doctor says it will take about 6 months before my body gets used to it. I think I can handle it though, as long as that's all I'm dealing with.

So today I am just enjoying having a clear mind, a normal feeling head and face...I forgot how good it is to feel and be normal. Hopefully the next couple of weeks I will have only good things to talk about...I am looking forward to that. i am ready for the good times to begin!
