Hi, I'm Phil and the furry one is Macy the MS (multiple sclerosis) cat. I have added the story of Macy to a page at the very bottom of this blog. Due to the timing of my MS and getting Macy we formed a bond that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Sadly Macy succumbed to either kidney or heart failure in September 2017. A few months later we adopted a bonded pair of cats. They will never replace Macy but they are very entertaining. Their names are Lacy and Slim

Ocrevus update
I sure thought getting this new MS drug would be fairly straightforward. Silly me, got a call from the doctor yesterday and now I need to get a chest x-ray, tuberculosis test, blood work to prove I'm immune to smallpox, measles and mumps. I guess it doesn't count that I had these immunizations when I was a kid. I also need to get any immunization for pneumonia and one for shingles. Then I have to wait 6 weeks after these new immunizations before I can get the new infusion of MS drugs. Of course, the chest x-ray will be the most difficult. When I had one in the hospital a few years ago I was fortunate that the x-ray machine could be made to work while I was in my wheelchair. Nothing comes easy I guess.

It will all be worth it if the drug leads to improvement! Here's hoping!
