I might recover some old ground.

As a salesperson for most of my adult life, I understand marketing strategies.

Some strategies involve what might be illegal if one were a politician, not a salesperson.

So Gilenya does a "kickback".

I do not care.  The stuff has been better to me recently than all other drugs except Avonex.  But Gilenya is an oral medication based on an Asian plant.

Stand by for an endorsement....

I feel better over the last few days.  I am on my second month of Gilenya.  I am walking better and feeling better after a month of adjustment. 

Am I cured, NO.  Am I doing as well as I was on Avonex?

No, but that was before I had deteriorated.  Before I reached for CCSVI as a blind person lurching for vision in a dark place. 

I am feeling better.  LEt me be direct with my MS friends and followers, I AM NOT CURED.  BUT I DO FEEL BETTER.

Starting later this week, my physical therapy opens when the swimming pool is warm enough to use.

I, as several others has shown, overdid it post CCSVI.  I am now ready to step us four months after procedure and get better with PT.

i am not a doctor and I do not pretend to be anything other than a sufferer of MS.  I am my best advocate.  Everything I write here, I try to do. 

My next goal is to walk and swim in the pool.   Due to the fact that I live in Louisiana, my pool is just about ready.

Where does Gilenya fit in?  Because I pray that I can go forward and use the procedure.drug combination for futher improvements.

I feel better today than I have felt in months.  I must not allow myself to overdo it as I and others have in the past.

KISS:  Keep It Simple Silly.  Do not do too much.  Cures and improvements do not occur instantly.  You gotta want it and work for it.

And I will do both starting Monday with the kids in school.  Mon, Wed, Fri.  15 min. Next week up it to 25. 

I plan to end up at an hour a day of swimming and walking.  So I might prune?  Who cares?  If I walk better, who has to know how I accomplish my goals.

Pray today and Plan forward for tomorrow.
