Hi and welcom to the forum, I have never heard of anyone being on Medrol for that long, what are your reasons for being on it for such a long period of time? Seems to me that being on it for that long could be very problematic but I could be wrong, I am sure others will chime in. As for the DVT I don't believe that is related to MS that is more of a blood disorder if I am correct and MS is a CNS disease.

Thanks, Write2, that helps. We thought originally you were looking for the new approved oral. PPMS, I'm so sorry.

My question is the impression of my mri stated T1 and T2 disease burden is at least moderate ( written for head and cervical MRI). Also JCV negative this whole time can I stay on Tysabri indefintely as long as I am negative?

I just feel so hopeless right now cause no one has answers for how I feel. I was told also that fibromyalgia is not a reason and it is just a term for a group of problems rolled into one. I have been searching the internet for help and came across this site. My symptoms all got worse in May right after I had the flu real bad. Is this any correlation to any of this? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you help.
