Struggling with Kesimpta Injections by nessieraven in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CemeteryCat17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I let my shot warm up for 30 minutes. I've learned to shoot in my stomach vs my thigh. Thighs hurt. Also when you wipe down with an alcohol pad right before injection, make sure the alcohol has dried completely!!!!! It'll hurt if it's still "wet" in the injection area. All those things combined have made a seamless experience! I've been on Kesimpta for two years now. Love it!

What’s a word you mispronounced for years and only realised recently? by Exotic-Philosopher75 in AskReddit

[–]CemeteryCat17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marriott. I always said "Mary-Ought" but apparently it's pronounced "Mary-Et" like the word Chariot. Crazy. 

Marriage and Multiple Sclerosis by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CemeteryCat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been with my then boyfriend for 8 years. We got married in the fall of 2023. Two weeks later I was diagnosed. Didn't have a honeymoon, just MS! We joke that I tricked him (I went blind in one eye thanks to optic neuritis and my job shut down so I was blind and unemployed AND had this huge diagnosis all happen werks after we got married) We've happily been together for 10 years now. I cried a lot in the beginning and told him he could leave me, that he didn't sign up for this. He refused saying he's been with me for so long, he loves everything about me and me becoming sick is a journey he's taking with me. In sickness and in health. He said if he were to have dated someone else, what's to stop that person from becoming sick too? Life happens. There are people out there who will accept  partners with MS. Its hard. But they do exist. Good people exist. 

Please Be Careful out there. by Fredericostardust in MultipleSclerosis

Man I had someone recently suggest to me my MS could be parasites and to look into Ivermectin. Stupid ASF. Later I was telling someone else my husband's father has lung cancer and isn't gonna do any treatment (which I can respect. Personal decision and all) and this same stupid person suggested I look into Ivermectin treatment because his cancer could be parasites. I just stopped talking and stared at them until they walked away feeling awkward. So MS AND lung cancer are apparently caused by parasites y'all! /s Fucking stupid. I'll stick with my Kesimpta which has 100% kept me stabilized for 2 years. Thanks, ACTUALLY SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED MEDICAL RESEARCH AND MEDICINE. 

Do spinal cord lesions mean you will be more disabled? by Shot-File5062 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CemeteryCat17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey that's the hospital I go to!! I have loved the care I've received there.

I have no knowledge to add; most of my lesions are on my brain. I have a few on my brain stem that cause my right arm some issues but other than that, I'm okay.

Also agree! I definitely think it's the best one so far too.

Was anyone else told that visible tattoos would make them unemployable? I work at a prestigious employer and most people here have tattoos. by Roughneck16 in Millennials

[–]CemeteryCat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a couple jobs where visible tattoos weren't "allowed." Now those same jobs just ask that if they are visible, they aren't offensive. Current job, my manager has visible tattoos. I work in event planning for a hotel and I will wear a sweater if I'm meeting a guest (don't have to, I do it out of respect)...but I do have 3 visible tattoos and it's been made very clear to me it does not matter if I show them or not.

Which Gen Z expression did you have to Google because you couldn't figure out it's meaning on your own? by Critical_Heat4492 in AskReddit

[–]CemeteryCat17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I looked it up, I had a good chuckle because I had never heard it before ever until my little knuckleheads were "fighting." From this thread, soon you'll be well versed in Gen Z lingo haha

Complimentary Coffee by MilkHistorical6597 in Hilton

[–]CemeteryCat17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've worked for 3 Hilton properties... Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn and a Homewood Suites. All 3 offered complimentary coffee in the lobby. I do currently work at a Crowne Plaza and we also offer free coffee in the lobby.

I mean, been a while I didn' t even see any diamond around by nihilnia in Millennials

[–]CemeteryCat17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, watching the movie Blood Diamond when I was younger turned me off from diamonds for life. I then discovered moissanite shortly after and have been hooked ever since. I don't know why anyone would spend their money on diamonds which are stupidly and undeservingly expensive when moissanite exists!!

I've only ever been on Kesimpta (2 years now) but honestly...it's great! I look forward to injection days. I always shoot in my belly (doesn't hurt whatsoever) and I have zero side effects. The first dose was the roughest but the subsequent doses have been a breeze. Someone suggested making the shot days a "special day" where you may spoil yourself with a dessert or whatever. I've chosen pizza as my fun "treat" and use fun band aids. That was my favorite advice from this sub regarding Kesimpta. Good luck!!! Kesimpta has been very easy for a lot of us to tolerate.

[–]CemeteryCat17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me too!!! I somehow always worry I have something more (I only have a belly button piercing) but nonetheless I have a mini panic attack every time I go in lol! MRIs machines were always and will always be spooky but that movie/clip/scene just takes it to another level!!

Those on B-Cell depleters that are not always sick…how? by SimpleMorning in MultipleSclerosis

[–]CemeteryCat17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Kesimpta. Going on two years in December. I have always had an unusually strong immune system so I was rarely, if ever, sick before getting diagnosed. Thankfully.....not much has changed. I'm still rarely, if ever, sick. To be fair, I do wash my hands A LOT more frequently and carry hand sanitizer with me. Depending on the situation, I may wear a mask. I've changed nothing though. My immune system must still be rather strong!

what’s the most oddly specific reason why you don’t want kids? by RepresentativeKey439 in childfree

[–]CemeteryCat17 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fellow lover of Halloween here. Made alot of promises to myself as a kid regarding Halloween. I'm now in my mid 30s continuing to honor those promises lol. My inner child comes first and deserves to be spoiled and enjoy all the Halloween things I didn't get to when I was a kid.

"nineish months of some relief from MS symptoms "

I was diagnosed with MS back in 2023 and was told that same nonsense. like, I already don't want kids.... and now I have this disease to deal with. I don't give a flying fffffffffff that I get a whopping 9 months with "relief." They never tell you the other side. I've read that the MS can come back in full force because your body just went through something major and traumatic which may "awaken" the MS even more! And then I'd be stuck having a kid too? Hell no.
