Still on G, YEARS later. For the past 5 years, I have enjoyed beating the expectation of the reduction in relapses and quite frankly being steroid-free for the last 4. Recent documentation on the risk of PML led to a JC Virus test in November. Results re positive so I am at risk. Both my husband and...

Employ these Ayurvedic principles daily- mostly diet & herbs. I feel sooo much better but no am not cured. Feeling healthier is huge tho!

Have you tried calling Novartis & asking them? Could it be contained in the PI?

Eventually the Neuro & Support team at Novartis located a cardiologist who was willing & authorized. Hang in there friend - it is well worth the wait ;)

Kso Solumedrol dose 2 (2nd single gram) orally yesterday - doing too much in the heat so calming it down - well as calm as a girl can be on solumedrol :? Same effect tho - took my nasty "drink" yesterday, went to bed at a decent hour & this am the pain throughout my right side is gone,...

...but a string of really HOT days is still miserable. Find I need to stay indoors with AC still. Noticed my legs just don't want to move as quickly as I'd like. So G or not - I do remain sluggish in really hot wather.
Keep cool everyone!

Still doing really well, am cleaning my own home (killjoy!) and the heat is not hurting me anymore...Yes I still feel hot on hot days but it is no longer like the energy & strength is being zapped out of me. Have survived Disney, California Adventure, Sea World & Lego land with the kids this...

Actually, steriods used as a pulse to contain a flare seems to be fine as that what was used in the trials and by my MD as well. For me it took a single gram of solumedrol which worked completely in 24 hrs. Not bad. My no-profession understanding is that while they both seem to supress the system th...

Since deciding to start Gilenya.... reliance on & use of pulse/emergency steroids have been GREATLY reduced for me... Previously - 2-5 IVs per month (2-5 grams total) Decision to start = 2 months no steroids 5 months on Gilenya = 1 single gram (1 day in 5 months) For a whopping total of 1 dose/g...

Wow that went fast & I am still feeling well for the most part. Braved a hot bath an well - it was DEVINE :o) I came out clean & not exhausted - sweet! On the scary side however my boday's impaired immune system was very efficient at converting a torn nail/cuitcle into a rough case of cellul...

so what really made this great MRI - was this is the first one in 10 yrs showing NO NEW ACTIVITY & NO ACTIVE LESIONS
Still taking my pill, gotta go for some blood work still - will do that this week.
Happy Easter to all - He is Risen!
