Hi all, so I'm finally getting out of the hospital after being here for 6 days. I have to go home and keep giving myself IV antibiotics every 8 hours for another week and keep taking the oral antibiotics (probably for months). Oh and I have to change the dressing 2x a day and pack the wound with gauze dipped in colloidal silver.

The infectious disease doctor said NO Tysabri. It will be my 8 week mark on Friday. Then I have about another 2 week window according to my neurologist. Nothing has grown yet on the cultures so they still don't know what kind of bacteria it is. I have to get my neurologist to consult with the infectious disease doctor and figure out what will happen next.

Please pray that I can stay on the Tysabri while continuing to get treated for this infection. I'm scared to death I will have to give up Tysabri which has kept me relapse free for 4 years. I cannot tolerate interferons or Copaxone.

Please, please be careful at nail salons if you are on Tysabri. I would hate for this to happen to any of you guys. If I had known something like this could happen then I gladly would have given up pedicures.
