Please Welcome The Latest Passenger On The Bus...(And Somebody PLEASE Scooch Over And Make A Seat Available!)

I received the following email last week (and much to my embarrassment, I am only NOW responding...my bad):

Hi Brain Cheese:

I'd like to formally introduce myself- my name is Robert Groth and I'm a new member of the MS blogging world.

You can meet me here: http://www.ConquerMS.com

I've almost finished my blog but I've got a few things to straighten out- you may notice this.

Diagnosed with MS in 1989 at the age of 19.

I hope to speak with you again fellow MS blogger!

Blessings,
Robert Groth

MEDICATIONS:

I have taken Copaxone, Avonex, IVIg, Tysabri, and 5 doses of Novantrone in 2007. I also participated in a Rituxan Study in 2005-2006. In the fall of 2007, while still on Novantrone, I began having "break through" symptoms, which became more and more frequent. In March 2008, I had an MRI that showed many enhancing lesions--Novantrone was no longer effective. Tysabri had been discontinued in November 2006, due to a questionable "anaphylactoid reaction". I received my first restart dose of Tysabri on April 8th, 2008, without experiencing ANY allergic response...I completed 9 doses of Tysabri in 2008, but continued to have some relapsing symptoms. I have, since December 2008, stopped all Disease Modifying medications and feel great...but don't tell my neurologist!
