I told my neuro at my last visit that I just feel like I'm getting worse. I've been on Tysabri now for the last 6 months. I do feel great for the 1st couple of weeks after my infusion, lots of energy and stuff. But for some reason, my legs really feel like they are starting to give out on me. I refuse to give up on them, or let them give up on me. I do my own PT exercises at home as I cannot afford the 40 dollar copay each time to go to a PT and I cannot afford a gym membership. He just gave me a sheet and ordered a bunch of blood work to see if something else is going on. I just had the same blood work ordered by my endo about a month ago as I also have hypothyroid. It all came back fine except my TSH was a little low.
I don't really know what kind of MS I have as my Neuro has never told me. I got dx at the hospital after they thought I was having a stroke because my whole left side went numb and was burning. They did 2 MRI's and a spinal and found lesions and the O-bands positive for MS.
Sorry this is so long winded, I'm just frustrated and lost. Oh, and my face by my mouth keeps moving on it's own, like going down on the left side, it's sooo annoying. My Neuro said he could do botox for that! What is going on with my MS??View Thread
