First things first, my 6 month lymphocyte count is 0.9 - nearly within ‘normal’ range according to my neurologist and is definitely a good thing.
My appointment gave me the opportunity to bring up a few things I’d been worried about/experiencing. Nothing too bad, just a few things that may need more attention next year.
I was also able to catch up briefly with Mark (we had Lemtrada at the same time) which was good. He’s doing well too. We both have to have the Flu jab this year - something I’m definitely not looking forward to.
I’m now taking 50 mg of Carbamazapine twice daily to help with the trigeminal neuralgia - something which my neuro said was a MS thing, but when someone with MS has it, it’s a bit different (it’s caused by the demyelination). It’s being caused by one of my original lesions, so nothing to worrying about on that end (in other words: it’s not new).
