We all have something to thank the NHS for!

Mine is the drugs that I’m on for my MS!

Its been a year since my last little relapse!

That’s some going for saying I used to have around one a month before being put on ‘Tysabri’ my Wonder drug!

  1. Natalizumab (Tysabri) is administered by intravenous infusion; the recommended dose is 300 mg every 28 days. Natalizumab costs £1130 per 300 ml vial (according to manufacturer’s submission), so over a year the cost of the drug is approximately £14,730.

I have a passion for nearly all forms of exercise! Most definitely Pilates, the Gym, Weight lifting & studying Yoga. Unfortunately I am now unable to do these things the ‘normal’ way. I can still do it, but now I have to be sitting down! My vision is to write a book on how changing your mindset can change your life! Lover of Photography, Digital art and Blogging Oh yeah, and I just happen to have Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain & Chronic fatigue as well! Which means I exercise in the morning to help manage my pain & then fall asleep in the afternoon! My aim is to inspire and be inspired, to continue to be strong and continue to be confident! I may be slow at blogging but that is only due to my MS. As with everything, I'll get there eventually!
