I traveled to Poland with NO pre-testing for my stenosis. I did know that I had circulation problems in my legs, so stenosis made sense.. I also realized that I would rather take the money to go to the doctor who knew how to test PROPERLY than to go to a closer doctor who would not give me a correct result, but would charge me just the same.

Hi
I've updated my tracking thread, but thought I'd give a bit more detail here. I joined the gym a couple of weeks ago and after 2 weeks of Pilates and gym, I feel fantastic! Fatigue is a thing of the past, my walking is stronger and quicker. Coordination is still an issue, I tend to trip over my own feet if I walk too fast on the treadmill. And balance, I pick a spot near the wall in Pilates. But my strength and stamina are improving rapidly, and I think its only by challenging myself that new neural connections will be made and balance and coordination will improve.
The 2 big milestones for me, which tells me I now think of myself as health (albeit one that's not able to run yet) are that I've decided to come off Tysabri, my last infusion was end of March, and I've booked my round the world tickets!!!! Leaving in September, it'll be a minimum of 5 months. Its something that I was getting ready for before I got ill, so happy to be doing it now! Just 3 years late!
Hope you're all doing well
