Feeling great!

I worry a little about making a positive post as in the past they have been followed by me falling off my cloud, but... the last couple of weeks I have been feeling fantastic. I am much stronger and playing tennis with real vigour.

I am having a second MRI scan next Tuesday, at the same hospital, with the same machine and the same radiologist. I conscious that I am setting myself up, but I am hopeful of an improved scan. I do believe that I am much better and getting better, so I think my scan will reflect that.

Malcolm, this is so great! You are one of the best examples of this site - you are getting your life back BEFORE you lost too much of it! If you continue the war, you will end up after due diligence on the list of those who "used to have MSi [3]"! Playing tennis is amazing!

It is amazing how a few days

Submitted by Malcolm on Fri, 2008-04-18 05:03.

It is amazing how a few days can make such a difference. I started this thread on Tuesday and I had been feeling great. I was particularly buoyed by my tennis which really seemed back to my pre-dx days. On Monday though, I started my 8th full flagyli [5] pulse and by Wednesday I was feeling pretty crap.

So this time I can really see the contrast and although there is no one thing that is very bad, the overall effect of the flagyl is to leave me feeling low, unmotivated and generally down; quite a contrast to last week.
