I had infusion 23 yesterday. It went pretty well but I've been in a down mood the past week or so. I think it's the lack of sunlight and exercise.

Anyway, there's this form I fill out at every appt and I listed that I've had anxiety due to work issues. So the neuro asks if I'd like to talk about it. He's such a good listener and truly cares about his patients. Anyway, he mentioned how women can talk problems out or cry to release anxiety (saying it's usually easier for them than for men to do this). So I get teary eyed and he notices right away and hands me the box of tissues. It only got worse from there, the water works were on.

He kept talking to me and it helped. But my main concern was stopping my tears. I hate it when I cry in front of anyone.

Also, the nurse was having a rough day so the other nurse came in to help with my infusion. I always look the other way when they work on the infusion site because I don't want to make them nervous. I didn't notice that they started the Tysabri. She'd started me on saline then went to mix the meds. I was thinking I was still on saline. She assured me that it was the Tysabri. That's what they were doing when they were working on my arm together.

I think I'd been distracted about my work problems that have been eating at me for awhile. It scares me when things like that happen though, like it's worsening cog fog.
