Day +1,461 // 4 years!

Hello again! Last month I started thinking about this post and what I should write about as I reflected back on this last year and how it has been 4 years since I restarted and reclaimed my health journey. There’s really nothing new to report, which is probably best case scenario! Life is good and busy and stressful but I feel so…normal! What a gift! Sure, my symptoms flare up if I get stressed or hot or I’m sick, but they go away quickly. One new thing I learned this year after panicking every month that I was relapsing is that it is common for women’s symptoms to flare when they are about to get their period. I should have known! Hormones mess with everything! So that was reassuring to know so each month when I experience worsening in my vision or balance or “brain fog” that aren’t due to temperature changes or stress, I know that it is normal and to be expected.

I’m happy to report that my MRI is stable and unchanged from previous years. That, along with no new or worsening symptoms, means that I am still in remission despite not being on any medications. 4 years strong! One more year and I’ll be in long term remission!
