    I start my second round tomorrow. We do the infusions at home ourselves. Kaiser delivers the medication to my home weekly. I had a picc placed on the second day of my first round. No problems.

    I only have bulbar symptoms so no muscle spasms yet. I finished day 14 yesterday. I can say I have had more energy , less need for napping , improved ability to blow my nose, and less issues with mucous sitting at the back of my throat. I'll take it! I agree the infusions are a drag.
