I had infusion #8 this morning (after having to wait 2 additional weeks since I had a cold with cough and fever). I was worried that going 6 weeks was too long but it did not seem to matter.

My usual time is 2 pm but today I had to arrive at 8 am. Since I'm a night owl that was painful! I fell asleep for almost all of it. I then went and ran some errands, came home, lay down for a nap at 12:30 and fell asleep until 6:30!!! I'm awake now and feel great. No residual side effects like after some of the other infusions.

This really would be the most absolute perfect drug if there was no PML risk. But even so, I'm willing to take the risk. I have quality of life, I can do my job and function, I don't have to bother with shots, I don't feel sick from the meds, MS doesn't dominate my life because of the Ty., and my 6th month MRI showed nothing had changed.

4boysmom --- I haven't been on it for a year so can't answer your question. Good luck with everything.
