dr's appt this morning
 

Well, it wasn't good but not horrible either. Even being on the rebif I am still having more flares than he liked. He finally talked about Tysabri.

I am going for another round of roids starting on Monday. Lots more issues now than 6 months ago. Too long of a list to go into. But, lets just say my balance is almost non existent.

He gave me a script for Elavil too to try and help with some of the stuff. Hopefully things calm down a little.

Course after the steroids are done. I'll be a terror to be around those days.

good luck with the roids Kelli! Keep us posted on how it goes

Atleast my house will get cleaned and I won't be tired 24/7(for a few days anyway)

I forgot he is also doing an MRI next Wednesday. I haven't had one of those in quite awhile.

:hug: Hope the 'roids go smoothly and the MRI as well. Feel better soon. Keep us posted. :hug:

good luck with your tx kelli.
i hope you will feel better.

lol about the clean house, I get a lot done on those roids too. Hopefully they help you a lot and this relapse ceases soon. Good luck on your choice of medicine.

Good luck kelli! Sorry you are feeling terrible but hopefully the roids will give you some relief. If not anything else...a nice clean house! I remember watching the food channel and cooking up a storm while on them! Maybe that is why I gained 15 lbs?!?!?

I am a compulsive food network watcher anyway. I come up with some really interesting food when up at 3AM on the roids.

I took the first elavil last night. Hard to believe such a teeny tiny little pill could knock you out so quickly. Had a good nights sleep for the first time in a long time though.

Glad to hear you got a good sleep. I can't imagine how clean your house is going to be after the roids! :D

I hate the roids too Kellijo but they do help. My stiffness lessens for awhile and my balance does get a little better. What I don't like is after treatment my hair hurts (yep my hair not my head):eek: I can't sleep but like you said my house gets clean:D

I hope it works for you and good luck on your MRI.:)

Hey KJ~~ Sorry your'e feeling poo pooey, but glad your'e getting on a course of tx. Let us know how the MRI goes and hope that you sleep well again tonight.

Take care and feel better, OK??

kellijo,

I hope your MRI comes out good. I also hope the roids help. I need some of those so I can get motivated and clean my house. LOL

Hope you feel better soon.

Hugs,
Becky:hug:

Back from the first tx this morning and much better now then when I went in this morning.

I had a good laugh when I got there. I parked my car and started to wobble my way in. As I was just getting to the sidewalk this little old lady actually passed me walking. I thought how wrong was that and then just laughed.

Then when I was registering the lady looked at me with that face and asked if I was ok to stand or did I want a chair. I wanted to scream. How bad did I look this morning?:eek:

They are starting to work their wonders though and I walked out much easier and faster than I walked in.

That's great news!!! :) Thanks for the update! :)

I went for a short little walk on lunch with my sister and it was good.

Course the roids make me sweat like no one's business but, it felt good to atleast be able to walk a little.

I may go home early today though I'm just feeling a bit off. Not really sick just kinda not my normal.

kelli,

how are you today?

Well, this morning had my mri. Couldn't get the iv to flush for the contrast so had to be moved. But, that was the highlight of the morning.

I'm feeling better overall with the sx's I was having from the ms. But, just a general feeling of being drained. Hopefully, that goes away soon.

Best thing though I can almost walk like a normal human again.

that's good news kelli.
please con't to keep us updated. :)

Feeling like crud today but, expected that.

One thing I do have a question about though. Since my appt last week I've really been trying to read everything I can on Tysabri.

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the "how will I feel" and "what to expect when I do finally start"

Everything I read you know is the same stats and numbers. Which is great but, my ms muddled mind can't absorb that info right now.

So, anyone good or bad things I want to know. Thanks for all the support. Can really use it right now.

You poor dear :hug: I don't have anything to contribute on the Tysabri front, but I'm sure someone will be able to help. :)
