6/1
Still have shooting pains, called dentist and they can not it me in and suggested another location. I called the other location and they were surprised that after 2 procedures, mine wouldn’t fit me in. I agree, I’m a little pissed. Obviously they missed something. I’ve been told by a few people that sometimes they miss a nerve or it doesn’t show up on X-ray. I have an appointment there tomorrow, with no guarantees that they’ll do anything. If I have to I will go to NY in this pain. I’m not putting off this trip again. Friday I have my infusion of Ocrevus, another MS drug, given twice a year. I don’t think it does anything and we were going to try a new one but because of the Corona virus I can’t right now. The new one compromises your immune system, so we’ll wait on that. I had read that as you age with MS you can come off the drugs. I checked with my doctor and he said, yes you can, but only the big specialty drugs. I would stay on the ones that help some of the effects of MS like, Baclofen, for leg stiffness; Tizanadine, same thing and Trospium Chloride, which helps me pee less often.
Still on Effexor SR, for depression. I think this drug makes me unfeeling. In a way its good because there are a lot of things in my life, personally, that I don’t want to deal with. More on that when I’m ready.
Besides dealing with tooth pain and the Corona virus, there has also been a terrible injustice that has taken place in Minneapolis. A police officer used excessive force on a black man, George Floyd, which resulted in his death. I’ll write about that in politics.
