I'm on heavy duty antibiotics and other meds and since there is no precedent for some of what I have done in the past week or so, we don't want to add any more problems to the mix!

Glad to see you up and about postinig, RW.
I was reading the information submitted for the upcoming AAN meeting scheduled for April/09, and noticed a topic called:
"
Natalizumab Therapy, Surgery and Post-Operative Infectious Complications"
[P02.134], Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:30 AM
Mark Gudesblatt, Myassar Zarif, Barbara Bumstead, Joshua Loewenstein, Anne Dunne, Lori Fafard, Laura Graffitti, Carol Seidel, Lourdes Cruz, Chris Burke, Serina Fahie, Joan Bohuslaw, Patchogue, NY
The conclusion of the study, which included 20 people who had one (or more!) surgeries over the 2 yrs, was:
"No MS patient receiving Natalizumab who underwent surgical treatment had any postoperative infectious complications. No patient required or experienced interruption in treatment. Surgery can be safely performed in MS patients receiving Natalizumab".
Hopefully that means you can back on track fairly quickly.
