Yes, I am a geek. (What else is new?)

The trouble is, I typed out about four paragraphs, hit "publish" and got an error. The wi-fi connection had apparently died while I was mid-blog and as I had no cell reception in the outpatient infusion center I was stuck: I lost the post. Grr... So I am a live-blogging failure. I suppose, in the grand scheme of things, there are worse fates. And in the end it's fine, because I'm sure the bulk of my readership (all ten of you now? ;-) was not sitting with baited breath waiting for the story of my Tysabri infusion.

And really, that's a good thing. Because other than a bit of fussing to get the IV in, it was pretty uneventful. The infusion took about 55 minutes, I sat there - as required - for an additional 60 minutes and then they let me leave. I now have a bit of a tender spot where the IV was but other than that no problems whatsoever. I did come home and sleep for 3 hours afterwards, but my guess is that had more to do with inadequate volume of sleep last night than it did with the Tysabri.

So. So far so good. Hopefully the 97-degree weather today (and whatever the weather decides to do this weekend) won't trigger a relapse! My next infusion is June 13, assuming all continues to go well. I'm keeping fingers crossed that this drug won't cause me too many troubles on the side-effects front and that I'll be able to stay on it for a while. Because after this, I think I'm out of options unless I want to go back on Copaxone...
