may tysabri update

My neuro cancelled my upcoming infusion because of the steroids lousy timing going away end of may and no tysabri till June should be interesting.

Yikes. That article doesn't make it sound like the FDA is out of line on this at all. In the risk-benefit ratio, it would seem this one doesn't stack up. I'm a bit confused by the phrasing 'FDA staff says' though, versus 'The FDA states'. Is this just an unnamed source situation?

Talked with Tysabri caseworker this morning and gleamed some more info as follows; You call them or Tysabri in my case and tell them you are interested, they then send a referral notice to your doctor and in about 2 weeks someone calks you from undetermined #, I asked to be notified or gave them leave a msg as u don't answer for numbers I don't know, and they will discuss your insurance info then, etc.

09 and I have since switched to Tysabri. With tysabri, all of my symptoms, (tingling, numbness, and pain) are all but gone. For me, Tysabri was more effective then Copaxone, but if you have MS and are thinking of switching, Tysabri is a very dangerous drug, inform yourself before making the decision.

If I walk down a hallway and turn right it wants to keep going straight, He seems to think that there may be some activity in my c/t-spine. He also thinks I will benefit from some PT. SO in August I will have an MRI of my c/t-spine and see the PT. All on the same Saturday and at the same place! Have I mentioned that I love my MS day spa? : - ) This Saturday will be my last Tysabri infusion.

Hope everyone is well. I just wanted to give an update. I had my first Tysabri infusion this morning and I experienced no side effects so far at all. Over the last 2 months I have had some improvment. I still have all my symptoms but they're less intense. So here's hoping for the best. Hoping this medication works at seriously slowing this beast way down. How are things with everyone? I truly hope everyone has been well or well as can be expected.

Thanks for the update! Good to know the only side effect was a one nighter. Looking forward to hearing more as your journey continues.

s financial asistance program to update my status and make sure that the Tysabri AND the administration fee (probably your $350) are covered by Biogen. Please call them back and see if you qualify for this generous offer.

• Although the absolute risk for PML in patients treated with Tysabri cannot be precisely determined, the U.S. FDA and the company have released data suggesting that the risk increases with increasing time on therapy. • The company changed the label of Tysabri to indicate that the risk of PML is increased in patients who have been treated with an immunosuppressant (such as mitoxantrone, and less commonly, azathioprine and methotrexate) prior to receiving Tysabri.

Just an update on PML, for anyone who is currently considering Tysabri, or who may need to look at it in the future...the original 3 cases of PML were indeed initially considered to be due to the use of Tysabri in conjunction with other treatments for MS, particularly interferon.

I am conducting my own, personal study on the benefits of Tysabri in conjunction with SPMS.

I have failed rebif and my liver didnt tolerate tysabri after 10 infusions. I really didnt like the side effect profile from tecfidera and was hoping this was gonna get approved.

Hi SS - Congrats on your move to Portlandia. Even bigger congrats on getting back in your running shoes! Keeping our bodies as strong as we can is really important. As to Tysabri's healing powers I'm not so sure. I am sure that it is effective at dramatically slowing the progress of MS. I'v had 18 infusions and Tysabri is the only DMD I've used. Since starting Tysabri I've seen no appreciable worsening of my MS. If I can stay where I am now I'll be very happy.

Anyway, went on to have EEG then Tysabri after 3 hours of off and on searching for a site. Finally asked for some pain med, even Advil for my worn out body. At least my left knee was protected by by brace from the ER. It's always something......

yes, PML is fatal, always. I got my information from the Tysabri official website. Although those numbers may/may not be correct, you need to look at what these people were on, medication wise. This is important. My theory is that "there is no free ride" regardless of what drug you go on for what condition you might have. You can also call Tysabri at their toll free number and talk with them without being a patient. Their number is on the webside.
