What, contaminated prep pads?

Five days ago, I received an email regarding a recall notice pertaining to the brand of alcohol prep-pads, Triad, that come within my Copaxone packaging kits. The recall is voluntary but it was saying how the manufacturers of these alcohol pads have issued this voluntary recall due to potential microbial contamination. Umm... voluntary... what?! No - all of my prep pads were immediately tossed upon reading that email. Using the benefit of Casey being a doctor, he picked a small stack of replacement prep pads up at the hospital for me. They're a different brand, of course. Things are back to normal now, but what a horrible thing.

Wow ~ 1/1/11

Had my 6-month follow-up appointment this morning. Everything went well and my doctor, Dr. Alka Sha, said she is very happy with how things have been and are going. So, again, same ol' same ol'.... nothing much to report on.

May 3rd will be my last visit with Dr. Shah before Casey and I move back to the West Coast (yay). Then the work begins to find a new neurologist with Kaiser in CA. After we move, Dr. Shah said she would continue to prescribe my Rx until I find another neurologist. Sound familiar? My neurologist in NY, Dr. Nabil Aziz did for me when we moved from NY. Moving moving!! Anyway, I asked Dr. Shah if she wouldn't mind giving a recommendation for a neurologist once we know more on where we will be moving to. I will have to get back to her with more information once we know more on our end.
