Default Fame, no fortune...

My neuro and I did the media interviews today about Tysabri and the news reported at the AAN last week on vision improvement, fatigue and cognitive improvement and quality of life improvement.

It was a very long day, started at 6:00 a.m. and went until noon. I was up at 4:00! We did 18 interviews, both televison and radio, with one radio interview going out to 4 different stations in NJ and NY and a national news feed that was taped for later use.

It was interesting to see how the media side works, and my doc made a threat or two to me when he was attacked by the makeup woman. All of the folks involved were very professional and very helpful. They did it at a seaside resort that isn't open yet for the season so we had the place to ourselves, beautiful place with a beautiful day to match. I spent an hour outside sitting by the ocean afterwards and it was sunny and warm and just lovely!

It was a long day and I need a nap! Hopefully the information presented will be helpful to those who are considering Tysabri or on it.
