to Managing Avonex Side Effects
Last night I decided to do my shot late in the game... so around 8pm
we did the shot in my thigh which I think the butt has less side
effects but I'm afraid of hitting the sciatic nerve. Then I
remembered about the pineapple so I had a couple of pieces around 6:00
from a fruit salad by chance. Ran out after shot and bought a lb of
pineapple pre-cut and proceeded to eat about 1/2 of it. Drinking
plenty of water as well. Went to bed after 11.
The next day, I was unexpectedly awakened @ 5am to chaperon a
kindergarten class. I would normally sleep til 9am after shot but i
had a surprisingly good day walking around in the rain. Whether it be
the 'fight or flight' response taking over or the pineapple I had an
extremely good day under the stressful circumstances. So I'll let you
know next week if it was really the pineapple or the maternal instinct
at work at its best. PS I also take 2 Alleve and some meds for
urination issues that helps me sleep. This is why I usually sleep til
at least 9 when my husband is around to take care of the boys.
Thank you thank you thank you for the pineapple advice this was the
day I needed it most. Good night
I don't know how blogs work but i look forward to hearing from you if
you rec'ed this. xxoo Siobhan pronounced (Shivon)
