Before Tysabri I had 4 MAJOR relapses a year and was worried I would be stuck in a wheelchair...those fears stuck with me and even though I knew Tysabri was not a cure and I would still have exacerbations this first one since has been hard for me to deal with. Even though I was only reduced to cane, then walker, and am now ok without assistance for short periods again.
It is mostly me being silly, borrowing problems and not looking at the big picture. Discounting the positive in my worry and fear.
Thanks for the responses!

There's never any need to apologize here for worrying!
We all understand the unknowns of MS and how we can be doing so well and look so good one day and then the next be on the floor!
Glad to hear the steroids helped!
I know eventually I will have another relapse and I dread it! Life has been so good lately, I forget sometimes I even have MS and THAT in itself is a miracle!
