Tysabri - The start

Yesterday I met with a new neuro at the Spokane MS clinic. I went armed with information. The last neuro, I saw didn't want to do a MRI or anything and I saw him for over 2 year and felt when I first saw him that i was coming out of a active relapse. Asshat. This new doctor spent alot of time with me going over all my issues and believed me when I said I thought I was relapsing again. (didn't help that he brought me to tears when he poked my feet with a toothpick.) We came to a joint conclusion that Tysabri would be a the best choice for me. Avonex and it's dumb interferon hated me (ie got me knocked up) and I  relapsed more then i should on copaxone.

MRI is schuduled for the 15th , then a 3 day dose of  IV steroids with a 10 day taper after that. Hopefully after that the insurance mess will be worked out and bam everything will fall into place.

In other life news my sweet girl turns 5 tomorrow. This was her in April at the MS walk.
