I finally got my husband to talk a little about the Ty treatment. (Although it will be a miracle if I ever get started, because it's starting to look like I won't have prescription coverage in 2012; I enrolled online in a Medicare D plan from Humana and now have hit a brick wall: Humana claims it didn't receive the application and Medicare at first was saying it didn't have a record of the application, even though I had a confirmation number. I finally got someone to admit that the confirmation number was blarney but they would put in a complaint with Humana.)
So anyway, I was asking point blank what my DH thought about me doing the Tysabri. And his answers were that (1) he thinks it will be so expensive we'll have to live like paupers, and (2) I will be more incapacitated than I already am, because I'll catch every bug that's going around, because we have 3 kids who certainly do bring home whatever is going around. So he feels like I'm already sick, but the Ty will make me sicker, because I'll not only still have all my MS problems, but I'll always have colds or stomach flu or whatever. Plus if the Ty makes me tired or weak.
Long story short: he feels like he's already pulling the wagon with me helping only a little. And he's scared that with the Ty he'll not only have me helping a little, but I'll have to ride in the wagon he's pulling, along with a ton of expenses.
And I'm wondering if he's right.
