Last night was my first 100% dose of betaseron. The injection went better than I had expected. The side effects were bad, but not as bad as last weeks increase to 75%.
I feel a sense of accomplishment reaching the full dose of my medication. This is the amount that my body needs to hopefully slow the progress of my disease.
It is a positive because it means my body is getting used to the betaseron. The two can coexist and I can still have a somewhat normal life.
Today is filled with all sorts of reasons to celebrate. Not only did I reach the 100% for my injections, I braided my daughters hair last night. It wasn't quick or easy and didn't look as good as it used to, but I did it. My fingers were able to manipulate those three sections of hair into a braid. That means my body is that much closer to my 100% recovery.
I am hoping for a full recovery with no lingering effects from my attack. If that doesn't happen then I will work with whatever my body can give me and make the best of it.
I'm guessing it was the prettiest braid you've ever seen!
