Although my index went from .07 to .11 – its not a huge jump and still negative. We still don’t know if the Titer Index value plays a huge role or not. Some Dr’s seem to think so.
My 58th Tysabri infusion is scheduled for 1/16. That makes 4.5 years (58 divide by 13 infusions per year) on Tysabri.
I will have my MRI (its been about 2 years) in the next 2 weeks to check for lesion / Brain/Spine changes. HATE the MRI!
Cooler weather is here! 5 Year Wedding anniversary next week. Driver training going well – has rained every day I’ve trained and ppl cant drive very well! They are testing me!
Today i had Infusion # 32 today. I feel the energy starting to come back after a draining week. Tysabri gets infused on a 28 day cycle but has a half life of +/- 14 days. So most people I know on this drug start to feel like shit the week before their infusion date. It’s like trying to walk through a pit of bubblegum or molasses. That’s if you can walk. There are plenty of other “feelings”. We Tysabi-ans “jones” for it –but not like crack addicts. Although I’m sure we bitch about needing it just the same.
