Category: the Rant Board
This is a real rant, not one of my fake and funny ones.
Today, I’m having one of what I call my “I don’t Want to” days. This is probably due to the fact that I’m going to see the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic, and I’m scared out of my mind as to what is going to happen. My GP and another neurologist talked about me taking Tasabri, which is a medication for those who are in the advanced stages of the disease. I thought that was strange, as I’d take some of the milder drugs first. But no, that is the first one they said. They are thinking that I had MS much longer than they thought.
I don’t want to take Tasabri because the drug is potentially deadly. I know a friend of mine who is taking it, and she is doing fine; however, the FDA has a black box warning on it, and before you take it, you have to sign two sheets of paper—a waver—that states that you know you can die, and if you do, it is not their responsibility.
The nervousness is extending into the other parts of my day, such as the work I need to get done. I don’t want to do any of it. I’m not in the mood, though, I know I have to do it. Gosh! I don’t want to do anything at all! I just hope that everything works out well today at the MS clinic, and I hope that my “I Don’t Want to” feelings go away soon. I’m just so nervous, and it is hard to think about much else, let alone giving my concentration to my work and other duties.
I wish you the best of luck and everything to go well.

I wish you well. Peace.
Yes, mainstream medication can have some horrible side effects. I would suggest looking for a holistic method. A great source of information on holistic medicne is www.holisticonline.com. Hugs and best wishes.

how scary. peace to you as you deal with this. The wholistic suggestion sounds good - maybe other types of alternate therapy too such as reiki etc.
