Daniel and I went down to NC to see Dr. Jeffrey's today and it went really well. He has moved about 20 minutes farther than Wake Forest but his new office is so much better. The atmosphere is much friendlier and welcoming and I am really happy he switched. He is starting me on a new medicine along with my Tysabri which hopefully will strengthen my legs. In two weeks a new test is coming out that will test for the JC virus. If I test negative for this than I can continue my tysabri without a break. Many people are exposed to this virus and it does not affect them but the Tysabri can activate it which causes the brain damage. If I do test positive than that doesn't mean I will get brain damage, it just means I have to take the break from Tysabri. I am going to wait and do the test when I go down in three months for my checkup since I am not planning on stopping before that anyways.
I will eventually get around to posting Christmas pictures once I get back on a schedule.
I was glad you had such a good visit. Very encouraging!
