I had my 39th infusion on November 12. It went well and I had the normal side effects. However, I don't know if I will continue with the infusions next year. I do plan on getting an infusion in December of this year...that will be #40 for me.

I've been told by Biogen that there is no one in Nevada who is qualified to do the blood draw. My neuro gave up jumping through the hoops that Biogen was constantly putting in her way. A Senior Tysabri Leader at Biogen is attempting to find a place in California for me to go for the PML study. It has to be within a reasonable drive because we go to California every 6 weeks to see our grandchildren. That is a 7 1/2 hour drive for us. I would love to be able to go somewhere while we are in California and cut down on the driving time. The drive itself is becoming exhausting and the stress of not being able to get the blood draw is taking a toll on me. If Biogen doesn't find a dr somewhere in California that is within a 4 hour drive of my daughter's house I'm giving up......that would be an 8 hour round trip drive Airfare is simply too expensive. I'm running out of options.

I hope that everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has a wonderful time with family and friends.

hugs to all,
Shayna
