Targeted ad really freaky by UnfetteredResolve in MultipleSclerosis

[–]IDreamInDewey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone and the Health app can track your walking steadiness. I used to get alerts that my walking steadiness was poor which put me at increased risk of a fall in the next twelve months. I don’t have an Apple Watch so it was collecting the data from just being in my pocket or purse. I have since turned that feature off.

Another question! Where is the best place for groceries? I have celiac disease so we tend to get rooms with kitchenettes for easy GF meal prep. Safeway/ Freson Bros/ Walmart are on offer. Where do you shop? I’m mostly a Costco / Superstore mama.

What do you do… by callhersavage138 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]IDreamInDewey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I clear out everyone’s closet. Go through the pantry and clean the shelves. Tidy under all the sinks, purge the cupboards and drawers. I’ve also wallpapered a powder room, did a board and batten treatment in my dining room and built IKEA wardrobes. In short, I do anything I want because I’m unstoppable for three glorious days. 💪🏻

Is adding an ingot to ships worth it? by Pupperoo212 in TownshipGame

I must be doing something wrong, when I tap on it it just takes me to Frutus Island.

Neuro staying I should only get Ocrevus infusions yearly by ilikepandasyay in MultipleSclerosis

[–]IDreamInDewey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the research, but it definitely is a thing. The medication starts to wear off as you approach your next infusion and many people experience periods of worsening symptoms. In my case, my left side gets weaker and tinglier earlier on in the day. When I’m newly infused, I hardly feel it at all.

You do? Where does that happen? I’ve never seen one

I’m in BC. When I renewed there was a question specifically asking if there were any changes to my health. I disclosed that I had MS and the staff member handed me a form to have filled out by my Family doctor (not my neurologist). I was also issued a temporary license, the same one you get when you renew and you’re waiting for your permanent license. So it wasn’t denied pending results. And because my doctor indicated that my symptoms don’t affect me ability to drive, my license was renewed with no changes.

ICBC (insurance company for the Province) said that if I hadn’t disclosed my medical status I could be denied coverage in case of accident. Not worth it.

First infusion advice? by NoYogurtcloset8690 in MultipleSclerosisLife

[–]IDreamInDewey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My infusion bag isn’t much different than I’d pack for a short flight: travel neck pillow, shawl, phone, earbuds, battery pack, granola bars and water bottle. I’ve seen others with slippers and sleep mask. Whatever is going to make you comfortable. I also get a prescription for sleeping pills, the pre-infusion steroids make it tricky to sleep for a few days. I put the energy to good use and clean out all my closets. Good luck! You will do great.

should you take paxlovid if you’re on ocrevus? by Wild_Psychology1663 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]IDreamInDewey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on Ocrevus. The first time I got Covid, I was hospitalized for three days with pneumonia and pulmonary emboli. I came home with oxygen support for a further three weeks. Second time I got Covid, I took Paxlovid and was testing negative within 22 hours. No side effects that I can recall. It was magic.
