I Used To Be A Lobster

Hello!

I took my first Tecfidera dose yesterday!  I thought I was doing well, compared to what I had read about side effects from other people, and then BAM!  I turned into a lobster...

I happened so quickly!  First my heart went really fast, then my face burned then my armed turned splotchy and then my chest and back!

Then the pain came... I was burning alive!  It hurt very badly... I ran to get Benadryl and swallowed some (too much) and Little Brother got me an ice pack.

It went away in about 20 minutes... but that was frightening.  It was like the worst sunburn ever.  I thought I was on fire.  :(

But!  Then it went away and I played me some Earthbound.

I took my second dose right before bed so I would sleep through the torture.


So!  I will take my third pill this morning and hope for the best!  I hope this medicine makes me feel better.  :)  I am filling out the SSI paperwork, as I hope to get some help... My money is going away :(

But!  Life is good.  Not perfect, but, I still have my family and that is all I need.  :)  Throw in a few cook-outs and camping time and I'm golden!

I had a dream that I met an asian alligator wrestler that was interested in me.  At the state fair.  After I flew around in a Metroid thing.  Yup.  Weird dreams as of late.  OH!  And I've been dreaming of Bridgette, and her new baby (?) was a rabbit!  And I was quoting Nemo and making the rabbit child laugh.

Problems?  I think so.

Love always,

Jaime Lee
