#mavenclad

I feel like my life has been on hold lately. I’m waiting for a fourth round of Mavenclad. It should be my final round of the medication. I’m waiting for my lymphocytes to get to 0.8 and there is no telling when that may happen. Before my third round, it took almost a year for my blood levels to go back up again so that my body was strong enough to handle a new round. Since I’m on the third…

I had three dizzy spells today. I was sitting for one, standing for another and walking in my apartment for the third. The dizziness and nausea passed quickly and each time I was able to hold on to something to stable myself. I was doing a different thing each time, so there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I know that I’ve been through this before, after all this is my second round with…

While he’s happy with the progress I’ve been able to do, he asked me to take another two weeks off…

The Many Ways of Mavenclad

I’ve been dealing with a few things since taking Mavenclad in October of 2021, the pandemic has been challenging and I’ve been writing a lot. No excuse really except that I’ve been working hard at trying to live…

Captain Maven and the Shadow Man – Chapter Five

Chapter Five Maven looked at Gregory. He looked angry. It didn’t matter what emotion his face was wearing; Gregory was always gorgeous to Maven. Gregory could look beautiful if he was crying, yelling, or laughing. Each emotion just enhanced his beauty. Though of course, the fact that he was still giving Maven the finger did put a damper on things. “How nice of you to drop in,” Gregory said. “I…
