My Treatment

So here is what I do each month for about 2-2 1/2 hours. It is typically done in the top of my hand but today my vein did not want to work and had to go on the forearm. My treatment of Tysaburi is pumped through the iv. I sit in a recliner with book and/or computer in hand and a way the time goes! Today, thanks to Abby Gargo, I read gossip magazine Us Weekly. Such a treat! Mary is the nurse who administers the treatment and she is a wonderful lady. She is fun to chat with and is really concerned about each patient who comes in.  Before she put the iv in, you have to read a book about the treatment. The good and the bad, the up's and the down's of what the medicine can and can not do. Mary asks you a series of questions based on your health the past month and then it is game on. Time to fight this MS! Until next month...and it is amazing how fast the months go!
