Updates 2007 |

| 5 May 2007 | I've had six infusions of Tysabri. So far, so good (I'm not dead and haven't noticed any side effects). The nurse that does the infusion has a hard time with my veins. The last two times, she stuck me 4 then 5 times before she called in someone else. That person got it on the first try. I continue to get weaker. I can't even stand or sit up straight these days. I look like an old man. My hands hurt all the time. The neurologist said its not connected to MS. I've had two carpel-tunnel tests and then came out fine. By the end of he day, I can hardly hold a fork (definitely MS connected). | |
| 25 June 2007 | I woke up with a fever after hardly sleeping. I made it to the computer to send an E-mail to my boss telling him I would not be in and went back to sleep. When I woke up this time I could barley move. I kind of slid off the bed and sat on the floor for a couple hours. I thought it might be Tysabri connected because I had the transfusion two days before. The neurologist said It was not connected. He called it an extreme exasperation. I started feeling better as my fever broke. | |
| 12 July 2007 | Another pill. My urologist prescribed FloMax to try and calm my bladder a little. In a way it's kind of funny. One pill to help me go and another to stop me. The never ending joys of MS. | |
| 10 November 2007 | Once again, another new pill. My family doctor sent me for another carpel-tunnel test. This one came out with a different result. The person who administered the test said I had a little carpel-tunnel in my left hand and none in my right. He thinks the problem with the right is a pinched nerve in the elbow. The family doctor prescribed Ultram (basically a pain medicine). It helps some, but definitely better than without in. | |
