Butterflies and MS
Why even call or say something like this? Seems strange on its own, but I. Am sure everyone can relate.
"The life cycle of a Painted Lady butterfly is approximately three weeks. Female butterflies usually lay their caterpillar eggs around 5-7 days after emerging from their chrysalis. Baby caterpillars hatch from the eggs after three days. The growing caterpillars will then eat for 10-12 days before forming their own chrysalides. Finally, adult butterflies will emerge from the chrysalides after 7-10 days, starting the life cycle all over again!"
What does this have to do with MS? There is a term used like I have "butterflies in my stomach", usually referring to the unknown, or a churning feeling given at any moment. This can manifest into the above cycle of learning, exploring, and redoing the same as new items are found.
RimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc), also called botulinum toxin type B, is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.
Myobloc is used to treat cervical dystonia (severe spasms in the neck muscles).
I have many unknowns with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. This includes waking up with shooting zaps from my legs and neck muscles, wondering if they will support me. On other blogs, I talk about the
Black Box Warning.
This is where the benefits outweigh the risks for me. A special form is signed by me before the neurologist can inject.
A weird process to look forward to, that I just had done, and done since the beggining of my diagnosis, every three months.
And the butterfly process begins again.
As far as butterflies in my stomach, is always the unknowns. I can research many items. Some outside my control, some just numbers that specialists look at from blood work.
There are items I share with my Neurologist, I will post links in another blog to keep you reading. They thank me for the links, as it pertains to the Rare H63d genes I have, and also to specific topics. You (my audience) gets to wait until I see the proper specialists, so I can obtain their perspective.
Anyways, thanks for reading!
