My Tysabri Diary...

Okay, I'm sure you're wondering why I have a photo of Taz on my Blog page tonight. Well, a few of us MS'ers the other night were answering a "newbie's" question on a MS m.b., which was: "My neuro just rx'd steroids for me to calm down a flare-up I'm having, could some of you describe what is it like being on IVSM (steroids)?" ... a few of us were laughing & talking about our different (but similar) issues with steroids, and for me-in a nutshell-I basically turn into Taz, along with experiencing a host of other emotions while on steroids (such photos would be too graphic to post here-heehee) ...a sad but true fact. LOL

My 4th Tysabri infusion is scheduled for Friday, 1/19, and I will update my Blog shortly thereafter. I wonder if Kaiser remembered to order my med? Hmmm, Monday is a holiday - MLK's birthday...and even though I shouldn't have to, I'll call them Tuesday to double check, considering what happened last time - UGH!

I hope everyone had a happy Holiday season. I gained 4 lbs over the holidays ... (bummer) - time to cut back on sugar and butter - oh but it was SO worth it!

Now 4 lbs. might not seem like much (and it isn't really), but if I intend to continue making progress in being able to make chair transfers unassisted (and standing too), I cannot afford to ignore those 4 lbs. and just let more accumulate.....know what I mean, jellybean? (wink) ...take care all,

(((hugs)))
