Update...

I'm at the 5 week point of taking the Avonex.  And I have to say that the way I am feeling is amazing to say the least.  I don't have the stalling nearly as much.  I would say once every couple of weeks.  The volunteer gig keeps me moving, and the days that I am NOT here, I really feel it.  It shows that moving is going to keep me active.  We go to the Van Fleet trail once a week for a walk.  We are going to go for about 4 miles next week, and that will be good.  Its a little trail that is sorta kinda a straight paved trail, with the trail on either side of us.  Polk trails are different that Hillsborough ones -- for one the Polk ones are free for now -- but there is NO facilities at the trail head the way some of the Hillsborough ones do or water along the route.  Still really nice in the middle of FL to have that sanctuary.  We went to a MS Group seminar on Friday where one of the speakers spoke about another drug that I need to ask about.. it is called Tysabri.  Once a month infusion.  If we have to go to Gainesville to get it done, OK.. I would rather get it done in Tampa

I learned to not get stuff done in my neighborhood lab because they said they ordered a Tumor Marker test, and they ordered something else.  Just really sad.  Especially when I knew they did the wrong thing based on the tube color when I had the test repeated at Shands.  I hate incomptencies. If it were for a "normal" test, then I would not worry too much.. but for wsomething specialized that was on the form, then no.  I would rather go to the nationwide lab across the street from the hospital and get it done there where they KNOW what they are doing.
