MS Walk 2019 - San Juan, PR

I like participating in the walks in different cities/states. My coworkers joined me this morning in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The walk here is different than in the states. They have ONE BIG walk on the island. Everyone from all over comes here with the teams. It was really nice to see. I was also able to network with representatives from Novartis and the The Fundación de Esclerosis Múltiple de Puerto Rico (MS Foundation) to see a doctor on the island.

Co-Payment Renewed | Let's Go

... now send me my medication. :-) 

I'm reaching out to a local (stateside) Neurologist to set up my first dose observation and you know what they told me (before doing research, apparently), "I didn't know you had to do that!" So what you're telling me is, you have no idea about the medications that MS patients take. You don't have knowledge of other medications and presumably stick to the few that you do have knowledge of.  That's discouraging. How am I supposed to feel comfortable talking to my doctor about something that concerns my health and you (or your staff) don't do the due diligence to perform the 'procedure'? 

Ok, so now what? 

New Year, New Prescription

As the new year is upon us, it's time for me to re-up my prescription,payment for the Gilenya. Somewhat unbeknownst to me. I didn't think about it. So I wasn't prepared for them to tell them they couldn't send out another shipment because my Co-Payment, as a part of the GILENYA Co‐pay Program, had expired. So here I am, trying to get that taken care of and hopes to do so before too long. Since, if I miss two weeks I have to start over. Or something like that.

Laissez Les Bon Temp Rouler - Let The Good Times Roll

This year's theme was my tribute to Mardis Gras season. We were able to get Best Team Tent this year. I got the chance to walk with #BabyBoyMcNear who's 9 months old.

And we're back...

I'm over in the corner, minding my business. There are multiple people in here receiving infusions, etc. It's good that they have curtains for privacy. And televisions throughout. 

Walk MS 2017 - Hamilton, NJ

Since I'm working in Jersey now, I figured I'd participate in the walk up here as all. I was solo but it was still fun.
