Infusion for #MultipleSclerosis is officially done! And this time I got smart and took a couple days off so I don’t wind up in urgent care again. Woohoo!!! No more treatments for six months. Just an MRI and neuro appointment between treatments. #rituximab #FuckMS #rituxan

I have my twice yearly #rituximab infusion for MS tomorrow. I’ve loaded up on snacks and I’m gonna charge my Switch, grab a book and download some tv. I’m lowkey stressed about it. Writing codes at the Co-Op backwards and shit.
Last 2x I ended up in urgent care because the directions about getting checked out for issues after infusion are pretty scary. Here’s to me knowing what to expect and not having issues this time! #rituxan #pwms #fuckMS

It’s infusion day! Glad I have support, FMLA, snacks and a #NintendoSwitch. #MultipleSclerosis #pwms #infusion #rituximab #rituxan #gaming

Before my diagnosed medical treatment for #MS I have to get my bloodwork done. And even though I intellectually understand that #rituxan kills off part of my immune system, it’s still alarming to see it in my lab results. #PwMS #MultipleSclerosis #chronicillness #rituximab

Woohoo! Another day, another IV port in my arm. I’m getting to be a pro at this. Here’s to hoping my new side effects are just reflux and nothing more serious. #MultipleSclerosis #rituxan #ChronicIllness #SideEffects

Feeling pretty solid and human about 48 hours after my #rituxan infusion for #MultipleSclerosis. Here’s to hoping I stay relapse free for another six months! #ChronicIllness #MS #PwMS #rituximab #MSSucks

It is almost funny how I thought I was not going to be anxious about my #rituxan infusion today. I almost made it to go time without an #anxiety spike, but the IV steroids put an end to that dream. #MultipleSclerosis #MSSucks #pwms #rrms #ChronicIllness #AnxietyDisorder #infusion #rituximab

So on top of my game that I’m too early to even book my next post infusion neurology follow up. 💅😂 #multiplesclerosis #rituxan #ICrackMeUp #MSProblems

Huh. Kaiser insurance apparently doesn’t work at Walgreens for #Covid boosters. But no Kaiser within 50 miles of me is offering shots. At all. And I need the vaccine ASAP because of lots of extenuating circumstances and a compromised immune system. Needless to say, I paid the ridiculous fee. I was lucky enough to be able to do so. I hope the workers win their strike. And I hope my request for reimbursement works. #vaccines #kaiser #booster #chronicillness #multiplesclerosis #rituxan #asthma

I’m so happy I was wise enough to take today off in advance. Physically I’m doing surprisingly well post infusion, but emotionally and intellectually I am all over the place. And I’m exhausted as all hell. #multiplesclerosis #rituximab #rituxan
