Jumps through the door and peers around...
Howdeeee!
Stopping in to report that I'm alive!
It will be 10 years on May 25, 2017 since I started Tysabri.
I am still JC negative. I've had no relapses, no signs/symptoms and no problems since I started way back when.
I've missed two infusions since I started, one for appendicitis and one because of insurance.
I'm off all meds except the Tysabri and MMJ
I am now a full time college student, my full time job ended because my employer went bankrupt. I am back on the river in season and in college all the time, trying to complete my degree in a year (yes, I'm crazy)
I'm hoping to come out of all of this with skills that will allow me to take to the road and travel, while still doing some sort of work to add to the money pot.
The very best thing about being in college (besides the learning, that is) is ...wait for it...
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE! LOL!
Gold plan, PPO, full coverage, low deductible and copay and much lower premium costs than the plan I had through the government.
I may have to be a student forever...
Hope everyone's doing well!

I have this mental picture in my mind of you all, shaking bones and bells and charms, muttering prayers and voodoo curses, dancing around in a circle of salt, with leetle glasses and tiny bottles of cheer in the middle...myyyyyy friends!
