Had infusion number five, procedure went ok, but I had issues halfway home driving, It became quite dangerous couldn't get my right leg/foot to work! (Monday) Since then the week has been crap!, headaches,dizziness and my walking has been all over the place ( wobbling ) I was really struggling to drag my dead weight legs along? I am not sure wether it is a reaction to the drug or having a flare up of MS ? I have been having ongoing bowel issues, ten days to pass this time? Now somewhat sore there? Maybe something else is going on with me?

@kea21 , it seems that your MS is playing up a bit. I can't believe that you would get these kind of problems after the 5th infusion. Things should be settled now in that respect. So, what is causing your MS to become "unhappy"? Given your bowel issues, there could well be something else going on, which is causing a "pseudo exacerbation", a temporary worsening of symptoms as your immune system has become activated by some form of infection. I'd be tempted to get your Doctor to run some routine tests and see if there is something non-MS going on.

Hi Stumbler, Thanks for your comment etc, it has been eleven days my walking is still all over the place,stumbling fool! Still mild headaches and dizziness, but is starting to get better. They are saying it is a exacerbation and the Doctor is going to give me a short course of oral Steroids tomorrow hopping it may help th walking recovery? My next Neurologist visit has been brought forward as has my annual MRI. Maybe they should have had me on monthly infusions instead of six weekly? Or again this isn't the drug for me?
