I am off all meds today, the first time in 4 years. I will be switching to Tysabri in two weeks, plus I will start Aricept in place of the Namenda in 10 days. I may return to the Namenda plus the Aricept if I need both. The are both Alzheimers meds and they help with the memory loss I have experienced. They work in different ways so both combined may help more, we'll see. I need help with my memory deficits, I have started forgetting who people are around me. I forget neighbors and even family members, although I retain a sense that they are familiar to me, I can't remember their names or how I may know them. I chose the Tysabri over going on the Novantrone and Copaxone. The Tysabri may not work well for me since I am no longer RRMS but Secondary Progressive, but there isn't enough study data to show a correlation. All I can do is hope for the best now. I will be participating in 2 studies at the hospital, one on memory and medication and the other is for a vacination to prevent MS using a variance of Tysabri. I hope that it will prove to be successful. I'm feeling wiped out this morning from not having my meds, hopefully that will pass soon. To all my friends, have a fantastic day!
