Come on!

  Ocrevus . Notes 1 The infusion was completed at 1pm, and I was asked to wait for 15 minutes after the cannula had been removed. I was told to take it easy for the rest of the day, that'd I'd be tired. Body not used to the new drug, nor my mind, given that I had been anxious about #Ocrevus day. Ok then, I'll accept a lazy day. Was planning a curry takeaway anyway! I am tired. A few nights of bad / poor sleep. Ocrevus. Notes 2 Second infusion (second half dose) done by 1ish. Then again asked to rest for the day. Yes, as per, I was tired. #Anxiety due to an earlier taxi booking (for 07:20), with the small alarm fear! And also a few wake-ups during the night. Usual, but! Prepared with laptop, phone (obviously), headphones, sarnie, bottle of water, and chargers in case. And a BBCi downloaded film. The same as my first unknown Ocrevus trip. Slower start than last infusion, but after the paracetamols and antihistamine, the weak steroid infusion did its thing for half an hour; wi...

  Hypodrinkisy  1. Bad again out-weighing the good. Stop drinking? I've said for several years that, as an insomniac , I do not need anything to assist with not sleeping - Here's the thing: Alcohol pretty much guarantees that I will not get a good sleep. So why bother? Drunken sleep doesn't count anyway. I love Guinness . I love an IPA. I love wine . Love Port. Really enjoy gin. Get the picture/s? What I, as a man now in his mid-forties, get hangovers that really, really, really suck. For the 1st time this morning, while awake in bed at daft-o-clock, I gave heavier thought to stopping drinking. Something I have mentioned umpteen times to myself and others; obviously without a successful follow through. I am far from an alcoholic of any sort, and for example I had 4 pints of Guinness last night (at time of writing), 1st drink of the week, yet boy did I know it in bed. Then there's #MS. Being a canny member of the "MS Community" I know of others who have stopped...

Positive Affirmations – We Continue! Week 3 and straight to point. I do remember that the thinking of three positive affirmations wasn’t always that easy. Then the difficulty when had had a good week, was choosing what three! 1. England. After that game I mentioned last week – England v Sweden – I am very happy to report (not really report!) on more success, in that WE WON!!! Yes, Sweden were not very good at all, we weren’t at our finest either, but notably better and 2 goals to their none proved us as rightful victors! Goals from Dele Alli and Harry Maguire did the job! SWE 0 – 2 ENG A thoroughly enjoyable Saturday was had. Company, beer (moderation of course), BBQ, England winning! Wednesday night coming – the 11 th July 2018 – will prove to be our first World Cup semi-final for a meagre 28 years! Bobby Robson was then at the helm in Italy for Italia 90 ! That was brilliant and stressful itself. Don’t ask Gazza about it or you’ll get a yellow card...
