Default Very First Tysabri Infusion Monday 9/22
Hi All,

I will have my first infusion on Monday at 11:30, I don't think they will get an I.V. in me but because of insurance reasons they have to try it at least, if they can't get the IV then I will have to get the "Port". SO, I don't know for sure if I will get the infusion. I am anxious to get started on a new therapy though.....I am still in a relapse with TM caused by my MS.

I have 3 lesions on my spine C-3, C-9 and T-1. The C-3 I think is still active because a LOT of issues of the relapse have calmed down but I still have a lot of arm, hands and upper body issues happining, I hope the Tysabri helps, wish me luck, I am a bit nervous..........

Thanks
Joe

Joe-

I wish you all the luck with the infusion. Everyone has such great things to say about Ty. If I were you, I think I would prefer a port. It is a nightmare for me whenever I need an IV.

Now for the important stuff, the Phillies and Eagles did great today. I am just happy they weren't playing Miami, that game was a shocker!

Take care Joe-

Cathy

YES, Cathy, the Eagles won it, and the Phillies are headed HOPEFULLY to the playoffs!!
