I was diagnosed on November 30, 2009. I did Rebif and HATED it... after giving birth to my daughter in June 2011, I started Tysabri and my only complaint is that I can't get it every 3 weeks instead of 4... I'm thinking about getting a port, as my veins are lousy and I'm looking at doing at least the second year of Tysabri. I am really happy with it and would love to continue beyond the 24 mark, but not sure if I'll be able to... so I guess I'm just really torn about whether I get a port for potentially just 11 infusions.
I met with a surgeon on Monday and have been having nothing but second thoughts since then. I think it's because it would be a "voluntary" surgery and I'm afraid I may regret it; however, if I have the potential to be on Tysabri for years to come, the benefits would definitely outweigh my fears...
I'm so overwhelmed right now, I feel like there are periods of time where I can almost forget I even have the MS, but the past few weeks that has not been the case. I've just started on Provigil for fatigue because the first med we tried didn't work... and now I can't sleep...
I needed to reach out... thanks for any thoughts...
