I Ain't Dead Yet...

     Yep...survived my second Tysabri infusion today (I'm sure much to the disappointment of a few)...looks like I ain't dead yet!

     The infusion went remarkably smoother "technically-wise" today.  I only had to stay at Dr. She Who Will Not Be Named office for a little over two hours...much better than the first 3 1/2 hour saga in August.  It seems the office staff of Dr. SWWNBN prefer cookies instead of cupcakes (**mental note made**), but they did not turn me away with the dozen Top Pot Doughnuts I carried for insurance of survival.

     I do seem to be having the same post infusion fatigue/arthralgia I had after the first dose.  It hits me even before I am leaving the office.  I also noticed my face got flush and I felt "hot" during the infusion as well...not to mention the perspiration beads on my back and neck.  BUT...other than THAT...I'm tolerating the Tysabri well (**knocking on wood**).

     I'm pretty tired, so I apologize for having to stretch soooo far to find anything humorous to type.  I just thought I should warn you as soon as possible, however...I AM STILL ALIVE and PML free!

I am so sorry you had to go to so much trouble yesterday to retrieve my message--it wasn't funny and it wasn't the least bit clever and hardly worth your time!   Am happy to know you have survived one more infusion.
