Even if they are related I won't stop taking my Ty unless they give me a blood test to check for my possibility of developing PML and I test positive. If that happens I'm going to cry...LOL
My main problem actually is that my husband freaks out every time he hears about another PML case It has not been confirmed but there have been reports of another PML case yesterday. That would bring the total number of PML cases to 40.
Take care everyone....and have a great day. Spring is going to be here soon...I hope  |
Shayna, thanks for checking in! Spring better be here soon, I can't take much more, it's snowing here right now...
I skipped one infusion because I had a ruptured appendix. They had three different antibiotics running into me after surgery, the infusion was scheduled for the day I was to be released and I decided to skip it because i was concerned about having so many meds running into my veins.
I came down with a raging yeast infection from front to back down below and a nasty case of thrush. I did diflucan and a nystatin swish and everything cleared up, but it was hell. I was on zofran for vomiting, and oral antibiotics and until I was done with the oral antis, the other stuff stayed.
I don't know what tossing Tysabri into the mix would have done, but I knew I wasn't ready for an infusion. My neuro left the choice up to me, but said it was ok to do the infusion.
I no longer tell the old man about where we are with the PML cases unless he asks.
I've got the same number-40- for PML cases.
