Chemo and Multiple Sclerosis

I had my first round of chemo for Multiple Sclerosis in lieu of disease-modifying shots (in my case, Rebif). I am very excited about treating my MS with chemotherapy because:

- No more shots three times per week (which means no more feeling awful the next day and my body will have a chance to heal from all of the bruises)
- Chemo is only once every three months
- Chemo provides a greater opportunity to repair prior damage from Multiple Sclerosis

The day I had chemo I was walking on water (partially because I had some steroids at the same time). The next two days were not so great. I only experienced partial nausea so it was bearable. We'll have to see how the next 10 days go. It would be great to not have problems with my white blood cell counts and not lose my hair.

There is no doubt that chemo is a much stronger way to treat my Multiple Sclerosis but I am believing that is just the thing I need to positively impact my disease progression.
