So, Monday, I started with my wrist hurting (typical ms relapse type pain) then Tuesday, more symtpoms were added. Then Wednesday, it turned into a full blown flare. The only thing I'm missing is the feeling like I got hit by a truck, but it feels like that's coming on. I knew it was going to happen because before I started Tysabri, I was off Copaxone for three and a half weeks as a washout period. I hoped it wouldn't, but I knew it probably would.
I'm being checked in an hour by my medical doctor's nurse practitioner for a UTI, just to rule out, even though the only symptom I have is frequent urination - and I've had that a while, no other symptoms, but they have to put symptoms down to justify the urinalysis, I guess.
I've also put a call in to my MS neuro - especially since I've just started the Tysabri, I want to make sure this is documented, because otherwise at my next infusion, they won't infuse me.
I'm just....frustrated. This is the third one this year, and although it doesn't seem to be too bad so far, it's early days yet. And both of the other relapses took me weeks to recover from, after the actual relapse stopped.
