What does your calendar say as to when I was going to get better....
i know that when I start the Tysabri I will most likely be almost 100% because that is still about a month away from happenning....
Thanks for all your help Cherie, it has made SO much of a difference and has kept me going throughout this......:-)

Well, you are at about 7 weeks now, and right on schedule for recovery.
Things may fluctuate a bit, and you may even have a couple-of-day-NEW symptoms that crop up over this next 3 or 4 weeks, but don't worry too much about that. It will be when you hit 10 - 12 weeks (about a month from now) that you should feel as good as you ever could have dreamed possible in July.
I am so relieved that you followed the same pattern as me, because we know the results aren't always so positive. Every time I talk someone through this, I pray they will not be one of the unfortunate few that never see improvement. From my experience . . . that you are improving exactly as I did, has always indicated that the person will continue to pretty much follow the same pattern to the end.
There may be some left-over symptoms too (probably nothing TOO debilitating), Joe . . . but you cam heal more as each month passes too (bit, by bit).
I'm glad I could help, and that you kept faith in "the process". It made 'coaching' you much easier, I can tell you that!! (The men are always easier.
)
Good luck with the financial situation, and with transitioning back to work when you are ready.
Cherie
