Upadate on Me (Catfreak)

Post by catfreak »

Wow, has this site gone crazy or what!! I can't keep up on the reading material posted everyday!! Awesome, just awesome.

I am doing really good these days. Working 50 plus hours a week and trying to plan all our events for the holidays. Having to do decorating in shifts. Finally got the tree finished tonight.

I put off my next Tysabri treatment for december so I can actually enjoy Christmas and I go back to my Neuro on February 1st and get a treatment that day along with an MRI. Excited to see the results and to see if my neuro is anymore knowledgeable about CCSVI.

I will probably decline any more Tysabri treatments until I see the next MRI in August.

Let's keep getting the word out!!

Hi Cat,

I was wondering how you've been, and figured since you're not posting regularly, you are out and about and busy. You sound great and I'm happy for you. 50 hours a week of work plus life is a lot for anyone and you sound like you're thriving.

Congratulations and keep us updated. I'm curious how you're neuro appt will go too. By the time you have it, if he doesn't know about CCSVI, he's living under a rock.

Cat,

I don't post that often but have followed your journey and been rooting for you. Holy smokes - 50 hours a week! Am really glad to hear you're doing so well. Look forward to hearing of that continuing in the future!

Take care,

Michelle,

My neuro knows about it, I made sure of that! I think he is a great Dr, he is compassionate, caring and I want to continue to use him. As hard as it would be to change - I am not married to him and if he does not get up to speed with CCSVI or I feel he is letting the drug companies control his action then I will find a Dr I feel believes in CCSVI.

We will see!!

There you are! We were looking for you a while ago. I am soooo glad to hear how well you are doing. I would love to hear how your neuro appt goes too! Right now my next appt is scheduled before I go for my 2 mo check up. I am going to try right now to get it moved to just after, we'll see if that can be done... Anyway, have a wonderful holiday and keep in touch!
