When DH got a phone call, Dr. and I kept conversing. Happy to say I feel better about him now. He answered every question I could think of about Tysabri. Will be starting that in about a month.

I was seriously considering changing neuros, but there are only 3 MS specialists in the whole state. He's old (72) and prickly, but Harvard educated and committed to helping patients be informed so we can make the decisions that are best for us.

Guess I'll keep him after all.
