Let me introduce myself, my name is Charly. I started a blog because I have so much to say! Even if no one ever reads it, I enjoyed the process. I am 54, I Iive in California with my practically perfect boyfriend (here and after lovingly refered to as the PPB), I have 3 dogs, love the Pittsburgh Steelers and coffee, and I was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) in 1998. Since my diagnosis, I have been on Copaxone, Tysabri, Ampyra, and most recently, Lemtrada. Even though my experience with Lemtrada
My MS battle has been long and hard since it retired me in 2009. By the time the FDA approved Lemtrada in November 2014, I couldn't get out of bed by myself. Here I am after 3 rounds and I get out and into bed myself, I attended my sons wedding in Hawaii this past March, I get up and down the stairs in my house (I have rails on both sides), I don't need as much help with my personal care and I am hopeful for the future.
