this last waiting game I’ve been playing is over! I was contacted by the MS Center yesterday and have scheduled my 1st Tysabri infusion on 6/4. The most surprising news? The insurance company claims that they will pay 100%…when I exclaimed in bewilderment, the chick said, “yes that’s what they said, but u can call me before u schedule the 2nd one to confirm that they paid in full for the 1st one if u’d like.” WOW! who woulda thunk it…not me!
So…before starting the infusions, i have to be off of the daily shot for 2 weeks…since this process started, i have been slacking off taking the shots – i cyah lie. So, I missed last week Thursday and Friday (the legs are the sites i hate the most), took it Saturday and completely forgot Sunday. Yesterday morning, for whatever reason, I decided to do the right thing and take it. F*CKIN A!!! because of that, I couldn’t go in on 5/21. (Since this is new and I’m not sure how I’ll react (side effects and all!), I want to go in on a Friday for the 1st few times.) 5/28 is out – won’t be in town…so I have to wait all the way till June! That leaves me a whole week to continue with the bloody daily shot – F*CKIN A!!!!
On aother news…the Ampyra continues to work; still no side effects and walking almost like a champ! 🙂
