Well,yesterday was the MS conference at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in NYC. I love the layout of the lobby:) the stores are really nice in there,too.
Same old information about MS still floating around though. I went to see old faces and catch up. Met some new nice people,too. Their breakfast spread is always good, Plenty of fresh fruit,all kinds of juices and yes even one of the wait staff went searching high and low for soy milk for me!! He found it Grin

Lunh is always a nightmare there for me. I asked for just steamed vegetables,no more no less. What comes out was this pastry puff thing and I just knew it was loaded with cheese.....By the time they got it right,everyone was working on coffee and their dessert.
Anyways, it's raining here today on the eastcoast. It's soothing and relaxing. Get ready for the hair frizzies!!! Grin

As for the Irish part of me ;the green envy part goes both ways,ya know Wink

I still think your curls are gorgeous even though you're at a shorter length than me. You'll get there sooner than you think!

As for the rain yesterday,nothing happened to my hair, Shocked

I was expecting frizz city. Today I washed,conditioned,oiled and let it dry any way it wanted. Curls are just fine Grin

Went to the neurologist tthis morning....when all wa said and done it was 2 1/2 hours later. All in all the MS is pretty much where it was for me in November 05 when I was ther last. It's stable,but I changing meds. to Rebif instead of staying with Avonex. Long story short,Avonex is 1x a week intramuscular shot I do myself. Rebif is 3x a week and subcutaneous. I'll do this myself,too after the training for it. This Medicare part D has scewed everyone!!! Young,old,disabled;whoever!!! It finally reared it's ugly head!!! Angry

This med is around $30,000 a year. How is anyone supposed to afford that??? Working or not? Lips Sealed

well,that just means I continue to let my finger do the "walking" on the phone and call different companies that offer assistance with co-pays...the saga continues!!!!
I stopped by the jewelry store to see if the diamond I was having reset was ready.....long story,but ex-finance from 10 years ago broke off engagement and left me the ring.......nice

I decided to have it reset in white gold with iolite stones. So we'll see how it looks come Friday;if it's back from the diamond setter in NYC. Man,I swear patience is needed waiting for this ring and some LL hairsticks,too!!!
Susan did tell me that she thinks the hairsticks will be shipped out next week.

Can't wait!!!
My birds and dog are all doing good,considering that I was either on the phone today networking to find help with meds.or at that doctor's offce.
Time to relax!

Thanks. I do like curls and enjoy them quite a bit. It's hard to be patient, whether it is with growing hair or rings being slow to come back.

been rather busy the past 2 days with phone calls,blood work and more phone calls........... Roll Eyes

Thursday is shot(medicine) day for me so either the get flu-like symptoms from it or not. Now I'm going to go on Rebif,that's 3 shots a week and more flu-like symptoms..... Roll Eyes

anyway,this medicient costs $27 or 29 thousand dollars a year. Shocked

So not working and being on SSDI since 2000,I've called numerous places for seek financial assistance. Damn Medicare Part D and the drug being sooooooooooo expensive! Ppff,networking and brainstorming takes a toll on ya for sure!! It's ok,all will work out for the best....
Anyway,blood work this morning(every 3 months),picked up a ring at jewelry store,went to health food store to pick up Aloe and Jojoba. Man,that's expensive. I could only get a 4 oz. bottle of jojoba for $12. Anyhoo,got calls to make and make and make....thank god I hitched a ride with my mom for some of this stuff!!!

Well,it's been crazy the past few days.....I did manage to wash and condition my hair today. Used Biolage hydrating shampoo and hydrating balm. I used Ouidad's Balancing Spray in conditioner and some jojoba oil. In the house my hair is down,loose curls and shiny. It's ok,but I'm not estatic yet about it. Maybe tomorrow. I'll probably put it up in a bun with hairsticks.
I've been thinking of going the Henna Way instead of coloring my grey. Still too young to go grey,thank god it's silver though and not ugly. I'm just afraid that any auburn I have it my hair naturally will come out with the henna and I'll either look like Bozo the Clown or from some other planet!!!lol I'm still thinking about it.
Anybody got some suggestions?? I went of the Morrocmethod.com site to see that they had. Interesting........

Reply #27 - Mar 20^th, 2006 at 12:36pm Henna can be a great way to deal with grey hair. I'd suggest saving your shed hair and test the henna on it. That way you can see how the grey and other hair will react with the henna coloring.
