I try really hard to be a "glass half full' kind of person. I am for the most part but sometimes it just seems impossible.
I had an appt. with my neuro yesterday. He's suggesting I get a walker with a seat on it. He wants me to exercise by slowly walking 5 min 3X a day if I can but with the walker.
When I was first DX'd with MS he said it was probably very mild and if I didn't have narcolepsy and testing we would probably never know I even had MS. He says that both my MS and Narcolepsy are causing problems and working against me.
Now, he's saying I"m progressing. I thought, at least, I'd go to canes first.
He also said that I've tested positive for antibodies so Tysabri will probably be out at the two yr mark (feb.) But, he also said my immune sy is really high (in a neg way) and ty is the very best for me and he'll want me to go back on it 6 mo after I go off. And, that once we get to feb he may still want me to stay on Ty despite the possible problems. (I"m ok with Ty)
The worst part is this has hit DH so hard. He's already frightened of ms *thanks to well meaning friends who have told him every possible horror story* and Ty. Now, he's erally worried. I hate him being hurt because of me.
I know that I'm just reeling from the appt. now and I'll feel better with a bit of time. Thanks so much for "listening" as I know you all know what I'm dealing with.
