Today [5]

[The Howling Wolves]

Here is a brief blurb on Tysabri and why Donna and I were apprehensive about the side effects of this new MS treatment.

• TYSABRI increases your chance of getting a rare brain infection that usually causes death or severe disability. This infection is called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML usually happens in people with weakened immune systems. No one can predict who will get PML. Your chances may be higher if you are also being treated with medicines that weaken your immune system, including other MS treatments. If you use TYSABRI alone to treat your MS, you can still get PML. Your chance of getting PML increases with a longer period of treatment or if you have received medicines that can weaken your immune system prior to starting TYSABRI. However, PML is a rare event. There is no known treatment, prevention, or cure for PML.

So far now present effects from yesterdays't 1st treatment that repeat's in 4 weeks intervals.

I wish you and Donna all the best luck in the world THW my heart cries out for you both

Thanks Kathryn for your thoughts but do like I do............
I praise her, I applaud for her, I give her encouragement on whatever little task she can do.
Not once in 2 years, did she say that she didn't want her weekly injections of Avonex I gave her. Not once in the 1 year, did she say I don't want the Solu Medrol IV. Not once in the last 1.5 years did she say no to the daily injections of Copaxone.
So yesterday was the first time she asked me if we should try Tysabri and I was lost for words after reading some of the disclosure of this drug.
I know there are a lot of people, young and old, in this forum that are dealing with a variety of health issues and my comment to all of you is............"Never ever give up!" Have faith and live one day and one moment at a time. Always do and be your best then let the cards fall where they may.
Thank all of you for caring about all of us that are dealing with health and financial problems. You are the BEST!

I know it can't be easy for you Dennis but you show such strength with coping with the pain that Donna must go through you're to be admired for the love you show her when she needs you most.
I applaud you and send my very best wishes to you and wish Donna the very best.

What i have to do for Sally, is but a drop in the ocean, compared with what you do for your good lady, Dennis.
I greatly admire you for your fortitude, especially under such difficult conditions

Best wishes to you both and hoping for a brighter future.

Today I am remembering...

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

A normal day at work, I have return a weather station which I brought from ebay soon. The seller is going to refund me my money which will be about £28.00. Once he has done that and I have the money I might buy FSX (Flight Simultor X).

 

[dobhar]

Been away from the forum for a bit...so busy at work. Work then go to gym then come home and crash. I've missed so much of what has been happening on the forum. I've been doing lots of reading. So sorry if I missed someone...

Hi mate !! A new sig with the new name ?

Very nice Arc...

I'm sorry, I don't want to sound rude or use inappropriate language, but today I'm going to learn how to wipe my behind myself, so I don't need to send a text message to Angie asking her to come fast back home every time I have the urge but she's not home at that moment...

An occupational therapist starts today my twice-a-week lessons in coping home alone, everyday survival. Guys, I'm over 50 but I am nervous as a child waiting to start school first time ever. Not first time I've noticed rehabilitation is like going back to school because suddenly everything you have learned throughout your life is forgotten and has to be re-learned. re-programmed to your small still existing brain.

Life is good. Rehabilitation sucks!

Kari

Wishing you the best Kari!

Today my blog hit 500 visitors. Not too bad in 3 weeks.

Nice...congrats Dinesh

My dad is on blood thinners, too. The slightest neck or scratch looks like a bloody fight! Yesterday he fell while coming up the steps and was knocked unconscious. I heard him fall. He broke three ribs and his collarbone on the left side. So it is back to the hospital routine for me. He is 90.

Wishing your Father a speedy recovery!!!

Today is my birthday

Happy belated B-Day StalkeR
