Marion....this happened to me on the 15th! I was on my way to my 1st Tysabri infusion appointment...and during the drive there, I aparently had my first 'panic attack'. I completely lost my bearings, and my confidence however I did not feel particularily anxious about the actual Infusion. I had just had troubles with reading the directions to get to the appointment, and was overcome with 'tears'. By the time I got to the desk where I needed to check in...I was completely 'Blubbering' and crying hard enough that I could not find the words to tell the nurse 'why' I was there. By the time I was able to get my words out, a few nurses had gathered around the desk...and they were all very supportive that it was normal to feel overwhelmed when having the first infusion...when in fact, the infusion was not my problem...my problem was the fact that I got 'lost' on the way to the appointment. I was completely mortified by not being able to control my crying long enough to explain that 'being lost' was in fact, the reason why I was blubbering. So now, there are several nurses at the Infusion center who think I had a 'emotional melt down' because of the infusion...when in fact, the infusion was the easiest part of the whole appointment!

I wish I could just 'turn off' the tears, because it is so frustrating to be crying over the 'little things'. I just never know when I am going to cry about something...but it always seems to happen at the most inopportune times! Geez!
