Thanks for all the suggestions. I have some Altoids to take! I need to ask my son to pick up some Zantac for me in case I get heartburn. Or maybe some Tums.

My Neuro has also ordered an MRI of my brain. I should be getting that at the hospital, too. Also some blood work so I'm going to request that be done at the hospital, too. Might as well get it all done at one place.

My DIL is picking me up around 1 PM and I'll get to see my sweet granddaughters!! They will be a good distraction for me on the way to the hospital.

It worked out beautifully that two of the days I'll need a ride to the hospital are weekend days. They said I could just come in whenever I wanted to.

Erin, I think I'll probably take a nap during my infusion. Seems like the minute I sit down and get still I fall asleep. Maybe they will have TV on with something good to watch....or something to put me right to sleep!

This flareup is almost like the one I had in 2008 when my sister passed away, I had a house full of company and had a flareup that I'm sure was caused by stress. It felt like I was walking on tennis balls and my legs were heavy.

This flare up today makes my legs feel like they weight 100 pounds each. I can barely pick my feet up and while I'm at home I wear socks and just slide around the wood floors. I figure I'm at least cleaning them when I walk that way!
