yes I'm taking 400 mg of motrin before the injection and 400 before bed. I tried aleve but it bothered my stomach.
I am going to see my dr today because last night my lymph nodes swelled and now my entire right side is weak and shaky with swollen joints.

I didn't realize it was due to MS. the first few times I panicked and went to my GP who did tests for kidney and liver problems,...

I am 37 and in moderate shape, little love handles (great for injections not so great for t-shirt profile) and a little ponchy in front. My friends have been talking about a new bra and...
