We had a very long day around here today.  DH dragged my carcass out of bed early so I could drive him to his neurologist appointment.  (It took two cups of coffee to get my eyes to open and two more to get me functioning.)  I love the neurologist’s new offices except that DH had to do a lot more walking. 

     We discussed the problems that have plagued DH after his Avonex shot lately.  For example, DH took his Avonex on Monday, and on Tuesday, he took a bad fall.  He has some scrapes and bruises but he’s okay.  This has become a regular thing the last several months.  The doctor suggested that DH try halving his Avonex dose for a few weeks, and then slowly raise it back to a full dose, to see if that helps.

     If that doesn’t work, Dr. H suggested trying Tysabri on DH.  I asked him about Fampridine too.  His answer was a bit noncommittal.  I’m not surprised since the FDA only approved it in January.  He gave DH a very thorough exam, and he is sending him for more blood work. 

     On another note, Jackie (one of my faithful readers) has started a blog.  Why don’t you go over there and give her a nice howdy?
