Health – couple minor updates

In a previous post I mentioned that we received it a denial letter for Ocrevus from our insurance company. I was able to start on it anyway because Genentech who manufactures it supplied it to me for free. Earlier this week we received a letter saying that our insurance will now cover it. I guess this means I will be continuing the infusions next year. My MS progression seems so slowed but is not completely stopped. There are a few things I used to be able to do with my right hand, like running that recline function on my chair. So I guess it is progressed a little bit. Maybe next year with a couple more infusions all notice a higher level of it working.
I suppose I should mention that yesterday I think I have a cold because I get a tickle in my nose and I ended up seizing all but yesterday. This is problematic for me because I cannot lift my hands to use a Kleenex. Today is better, I'm still getting a tickle in the nose but so far I have not sneezed. The tickle is in the right nostril and when it it to me my right I closes and starts watering. This makes a little hard to read things on my PC. After a while my clears up and I can read again so I just have to be more patient. Yesterday I was cold all day and today I am fine so I'm pretty sure yesterday was the worst day of my cold. I have to say that many of these things are pretty annoying when I have MS too. I have to say things like this are "light affliction but for a moment" which I think is in the book of James. Take care dear reader and God bless you!
