Bob and Weave

Another day of beating myself up at the gym & a 5 mile ride. I am tired & need to rest & so I will. Kathy is at work but will be home in 2 hrs! Yay! I am hurting today. I saw my BOTOX Specialist this morning so next month I will get 8 Intramuscular injections (big needle) in my neck because in addition to my MS- I am unfortunate to have Parkinsonian Effect (a form of Parkinsons) which only affects about 1 in every 1,000 of us MS Warriors. It causes my head to "bob" incessantly. More pain; FYI your head weighs about 10 lbs. The BOTOX reduces the bobbing by about 90% which is a major relief. It only lasts around 2 months and the insurance companies only pay every 3 months,  so I go back to misery in 2 months. God Bless you all.

    I'm a retired firefighter, loving husband, proud father, bad joke teller, gym rat. I've been called a warrior who is battling Stage 4 Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease. Rather than letting it define me- I'm redefining what it means to live with these diseases. If I can look on the bright side...So can you!
