Soon. Very soon.

The new MS drug is called Tecfidera. I get the starter kit on Wednesday. I'm very, very excited.

What this means is that I get a week of quarter-strength pills, then three weeks of half-strength pills, then the full-strength pills. Side effects are flushing of the skin (which I already have, to some extent), and GI problems, but these go away over time. I also learned that all MS drugs need to be mailed from a specialty pharmacy. I thought it was just shots. My favorite specialty pharmacy didn't have any ready to go, so I got the first month's worth from one my doctor recommended.

Wednesday.

Oh, I hope.
