Hello Cindy,
I'm really sorry, but I must say, I too am having a good chuckle at your expense too. I thought I read that they received a "fat taxxing" on you! I was wondering what in bloody hell is a "fat taxxing"? That really burns my **** the way the drug companies police us about our meds.

I recall when I first started taking Avonex the Biogen nurses tried calling me whilst at work. I was furious and told them NEVER to bother me at work again. The next thing I knew they began to call us during dinnertime about once a month. Michael could see it on the caller-ID, and usually we don't answer phone calls during mealtime. But, I wondered the first time if there was a problem so he answered the call. They just wanted to know how things were going.

The next time they called was during dinner again! I was bloody mad, and decided to answer it. When I told the nurse I couldn't talk because it was a religious holiday (it wasn't), she apologized and said she'd call me back.
Sure enough about 3 nights later someone called again during our dinnertime. Michael told them again not to call during a religious holiday.

Finally, about a month later they called again during dinner, and I once again told them NOT to call on a religious holiday. The nurse finally asked me what religion I was and I simply replied, "we haven't decided yet, we're trying them all out". They never called after that.

I wonder why?

It sounds as if you have a good relationship with your Neurologist and the two of you will have a good chuckle over this entire episode. I think it's our right to take charge of our health, and any good Dr. will understand that.

All the best to you,
Chris
