So I did not take the Benadryl via IV before my Tysabri today and I did just fine; I had no itching and since I didn't take the Benadryl I did not knock out all day! Since I am going to Ireland at a weird time I will be skipping my March infusion and getting one as soon as I get back in April, I think I will be just fine, I read somewhere that the FDA was questioning the effectiveness of an infusion every month vs an infusion every other month and I think they were saying they see no difference. My doctor did not seem to be worried so I think everything will be A-OK! Oh yeah, I also did not have to stay an hour after for observation, which was nice! I hated waiting around to go home! Nice n' quick, just the way I like my medical experiences!
Either way it's a million times better than sticking myself with a needle every day!
I'm glad to hear that you're doing better. It's great to hear some good news. I always thought you switched gears too often. Stick with the Tysabri and your exercise and continue to be positive.

ReplyDeleteI avoid dairy and reduce red meat. No junk food and no soda, but really, I don't feel that sensitive to food anymore, oh, I do seem to react poorly to alcohol now, I don't get drunk, just feel my symptoms flare haha.
