First off I just noticed that none of the posts I made this fall/winter have actually been published. They were sitting in drafts but they only had the first sentence. What’s up WP? Hopefully this one will find its way to the Internet and my reader(s?).
In what has become the main consistency in my running, it is time to get back into running again. I am feeling rather large at the moment weighing in at 190+ or so. When I was at my fighting weight (175) I was feeling a little thin especially when it came to rebif injections. The extra flab has made the shots easier (less painful, easier to absorb) and I have really liked that, however it is extra flab and I don’t like that! Clothes have been a bit tight and it is time for that to be reversed, Running on a regular basis is a huge part of that, also cutting out eating at night (nothing after 7 seems to works really well for me).
I am just gonna scrawl some quick notes as I need to get on putting christmas decorations away. I have stopped taking Ibuprofen and Acitominifen (sp?) when I take my shots. Hasn’t seemed to make a difference not taking one of each with each injection. Perhaps my body has normalized around the rebif as I don’t get any flu-like symptom/headaches. I feel good about not stressing my liver as much. New insurance this year under the ACA. My healthnet policy I had last year was cancelled by healthnet as they don’t want to participate in the ACA and instead want to continue the health care crisis. Must be more profitable for them! But my new policy will work really well for us. Last year I took on a platinum plan in order to get a low max out of pocket expense so I could afford the rebif. In talking with the mslifelines (the pharmaceutical company that makes rebif, actually phizer) I found out about there plans to help people afford the meds which will cover the co-pay costs for under-insured peoples. This allows me to get a reasonable silver plan and will save me about 50% each month, decent! In addition, with mslifelines covering the copays, it actually counts as if I were paying towards my max out of pocket which once I hit it, all prescriptions will be free. Extra decent! In other meds news I am opting out of the med marijuana program this year as it costs $200 and pot will be legal come July in OR.
Ok, time for decoration moving.
