Tysabri? Mood
Friday, May 22, 2009 | A General Update story
Saw my neurologist on Tuesday. I had just started to feel better on Monday. She said she was thinking of switching me to Tysabri if I was still having the relapse. She said that we may still consider it, but to stay with Rebif and my other meds for now. She felt that it may benefit my cognitive and visual symptoms. I still notice that I have difficulty remembering faces which is weird for me since I use to have a great memory. I'm still pretty good at remembering phone numbers, but don't remember names like I use to. Some days are better than others. Anyway, the dizziness came back on Wednesday afternoon and bugged me most of the day on Thursday. Today isn't quite as bad. I tried to take it easy last night and got as much sleep as I could and today I'm trying not to do too much. I don't know if it helps, but I'm so tired of being dizzy. I just want it to go away. I guess I could switch to Tysabri, but I'm a little scared of it. It's only been a few months since my diagnosis although I've probably had this disease for years. My doctor said that she feels the dystonia is probably caused by the MS as well and those symptoms started over 10 years ago so maybe that's why she wants to try something stronger. Also, I just realized these relapses were less than 4 months apart maybe that's why I feel so exhausted.
