I'm watching Bon Jovi on Saturday Night Live right now and they are singing the song "Back when we were beautiful" and I think wow...you still are...older, but, still beautiful. I bet they are referring to their 20's as I know that's when I felt my most beautiful. I wish I was young again for no other reason than to live life a little differently now that I am that much more knowledgeable about life.
So, I haven't been doing my MS shots for a few months now. For various reasons. Life has been crazy, though we moved almost 1 month ago, we are still not completely settled. I had my gallbladder out. The dogs have been sick with allergic reactions and work has well been busy. I was offered a management position I declined and it would seem they are still wanting me to do it, so I may. Not allot more money, but, more cash is more cash. But, the point is I haven't been doing my shots for another reason also. I found out when I had my Gallbladder out about 6 weeks ago that I have a "fatty liver". So, I googled what a fatty liver was and it scared me. I can't have even more health problems when I'm not even 40 yet.
So, this week, I am going to start Weight Watchers as well as looking for a good Chiropractor, start doing Yoga and Zumba and I'm now just excited about life again. Lots of good things hopefully coming my way this year. Promotions, Fall/Winter Vacations, Visits from Family, I'm going to be an Aunt again etc. But, I want to know more about what's going on inside me before I start my shots back up again as I am concerned they could be negatively affecting my liver. It would suck to get liver disease considering I don't even drink except like a handful of times a year.
Is it wrong to just "forget" about your disease for months at a time once every so often? Really, those who think and live with their MS everyday are they better off than me who just forgets about it until a symptom flares up? Sometimes you just have to live life...and forget about your MS. Is that wrong? Dangerous?

I too have a fatty liver. The internet can scare you on everything. It hasn't affected me other than knowing that I have it. I suspect that it's from my meds that I've taken for years. You can get a simple blood test called a Liver Function Test or LFTs to see if it truly is having an effect on you, but I would say it probably isn't. I hope you're enjoying your new place!
I'm on Copaxone so I don't have to take liver tests. I did when I was on Betaseron which is an interferon type drug.
Still, it is a question I ask myself every day for some reason.
