Hi everybody!
I had my 14 Tysabri inf. yesterday. I am not sure if I still need it, but my doctor said I should stay on Tysabri at least for 2 years - so: 10 infusions to take.
I feel better. I don't have this dropping foot anymore. My balance is better but still not ideal. My left hand is a bit stronger, but still is weak. If I am not tired and stressed I walk NORMALLY. I still can't run (or maybe I am afraid of running), but things are going in a good direction:).

My rehab hospital it is normal polish hospital. I got a referral and I spent 3 weeks exercising. It was good time for me, but my doctor didn't see any change in EDSS. I came with 3,5, I finished my stay with 3,5.

Hi everybody!
I was in Katowice today morning- I visited Euromedic to check my left neck vein 3 month after procedure. Everything is ok- the vein is still wide enough:).

Next checktime in three months.

I thought that I was going crazy when I saw your "second day after procedure" because I thought you had it months ago. I'm glad your check up was positive!

7mnths after liberation!

Post by annbbe »

Hi Guys!
Almost 7 months after procedure! My balance is much better. If I have to, I am able go go up/downstairs without handrail or wall for help. Or even with something in both hands. My left arm/hand is much stronger. I am able to keep going with a plate of pizza in the left hand. However, I am still afraid of carrying a cup full of drink in it. My left leg is stronger as well. I feel like if everything went sloooowly better and better:). Just not my english, sorry;)
