I had my first dose this morning, at my house. That has to be very expensive for Novartis! The doctor and nurse technician have to sit here with me for six hours taking my vitals. They'll take a final EKG at 4:30pm before they leave.

I had a job interview while they were here, now I'm doing my chores. The kitties are hiding in the basement, the poor little things!

Good luck with the job interview - I hope your first dose has been really uneventful, and easy for you.

So far so good. I took my second dose last night and re-started my Lexapro yesterday. The job interview went well, if I get it it will mean big changes for me!

I have no idea - think the standard is to have an MRI once a year on G - (it is every six months with Tysabri).

However, now that there has been a couple of cases of PML in Gilenya patients who have never been on Tysabri, alarm bells might be ringing that it needs to be monitored more closely.

Kinda hope it changes to six monthly, because since I was told I have to change, I don't want to be caught out.
