I am currently staying at someone’s house who lives in a more rural area of the US. We agreed that I would help with taking care of their cats. They have indoor / outdoor cats. They said the cats need to get inside at night but are otherwise easy. I have been here two nights now and have unsuccessfully gotten their cats inside after multiple hours of trying (in the rain) both nights. I explained this afternoon to the owner my challenges and they simply said please do your best as I am very attached to my cats and to keep them inside for the rest of the trip once i get them in. The cats were outside when i arrived. This is feeling above and beyond a reasonable expectation at this point as i am here for a wedding and vacation. At this point I feel like an unpaid pet sitter. Is this normal with home exchange? I’ve been doing this for 2 years and have had nothing but lovely experiences hosting and being hosted.

I was on Tysabri of many years and loved it. I felt full of energy for weeks after the infusion. I had to go off it because I developed JC virus and my numbers were too high to safely continue. I have been on Tecfidera for about 5 years now and while I have had no new lesions or relapses. I just don't feel as good. I have way more "bad" days, I still get the flushing. My doctor has said the symptom relief from Tysabri is only anecdotal. My question to you all is, have you experience this with Tysabri? Do you experience this with Ocrevus or Kesimpta? Would love to start to explore other options. Thanks!
