Oral tablets vs Rebif

Just had my routine check up with my doctor.. Was told that the oral tablet, Fingolimod is out in the states and it's bound to be more expensive than Rebif!! I guess that's to be expected. But if it's gonna be more expensive than Rebif, i wonder how many people will be able to afford the tablets. I know 1 type of tablet is for daily consumption, and another is for a few weeks every 3 months. Fingolimod is the first type, daily (I think :P). So i've got some time to think about using oral tablets...

It'll definately be a comfort... Compared to Rebif, i won't have to jab and it's not every alternative day that i'll have to use it BUT i read that it's at least 30% more expensive than Rebif... so hmmm, something to think about? :)

The good news is, with the new tablets out, the price of Rebif is 'speculated' to go down. So, it's gonna be cheaper... Yeay!! :) but that's only gonna mean that i'll still stick to Rebif and continue jabbing myself for another year or 2 till the price of Fingolimod goes down? hmmm... something to think about..

Wedding + Honeymoon

Praise God!! :D Everything went well and great :) From the start of Sept 11th to the end of our honeymoon, everything went well. We went to Melbourne & Tasmania for our honeymoon. Staying here in Singapore for the last 5-6 years, going to a laid back lifestyle was a great rest & renewing time. We also had a great time knowing each other and I had a chance to catch up with my oldest friend, Peggen :) Everything was just great :D A few pictures.. I've put in 2 pictures to show.. This was taken along the way to Great Ocean Road.

The weather was just awesome!! :) Was only once that i got a backache and trust me, i've never walked so much!! Was jokingly telling Han that 1 day's walk = 1 year's walk in Singapore. Not only that, there was no sign of hives in Oz!! Absolutely no sign at all :) Looks like it's really the heat that affects me.... Read & was told often that heat & stress brings out the possibility of a relapse..

On this topic of heat & exercise, heat 'aggravates' MS. On exercise, I personally think that the best exercise will be swimming. Why swimming, you might ask. Because you're getting your exercise and you're still kept cool in the waters :) Doing other forms of exercise like jogging etc will make your body hot after awhile. Yes yes, my husband might be saying that i'm 'just saying' that exercise is good cos i haven't been very regular in exercising in the last few weeks because of the wedding & honeymoon :P I'm picking up, i'm picking up!! :D

I'll try exercising in an air-con gym soon... I wonder if it'll make much difference than exercising in a non air-con gym... Let you know again when i find out what's good :) I heard that yoga and pilates is good too.. but I can't do that now as my back is still not strong enough. Having the 2 lesions on my spinal cord causes the backaches. Some have backaches, some have numbness etc.. People with MS gets different symptoms... You learn to live with it, accommodate it but at the same time keep praying that not only does the symptoms / side effects go but pray that you'll be healed :) That's what i'm doing :)
