tysabri chemical name

He feels that Tysabri is the way to go. I know that there are others here on it or used to be. I would love some insight on what to expect, how long it takes, etc... Thanks!

And even if Tecfidera ultimately was directly connected to PML, know that Tysabri is too, and yet the vast majority of patients use it safely every month. It's something to be aware of, but no reason to throw out the Tecfidera yet. http://www.foxbusiness.

I'm not sure how they are going to work that one out. They certainly won't admit it I am guessing. I know when I was searching for "gap" insurance, the big thing with them was kidney dialysis. However if you are on meds already, not sure how they can change it. As long as you have no coverage gaps, and I don't remember where, but for example, there are studies that Tysabri is now being used (along with another drug but can't rememer that name) for progressive MS.

Hi, I'm glad I found this post. I will be starting Tysabri soon. Looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time.

I have never heard of a brain infection related to Gilenya … perhaps the doctor was referring to Tysabri, although a doctor should know the difference. Tysabri also may be worth a try. Yes, it has shortcomings, but like Gilenya, many people tolerate it well and have good results. I don’t know anything about gabapentin, other than that it is not a disease-modifying drug interchangable with Gilenya, Tysabri, Copaxone, Avonex, Rebif, and Betaseron.

Has anyone ever had an occasional "off" day with Tysabri? I went for my infusion yesterday and usually they don't bother me at all but spent the rest of the day on the couch, with no energy and all day today with none. Can't remember having one like this in quite awhile and just wondering if anyone else had this occasional problem. Most of the time, its just like I got a saline injection!

Over the last 12 years he has been on all the ABC drugs. Now he is completing the 2 year mark of using Tysabri. Dr Appointment in 2 weeks assume he will stop infusions. I wonder what is next???? How are others doing after all these treatment and now what do they take???

Recently I've been having all sorts of muscle cramps in my legs and lots of spasticity in my hips. I've read that it can be a side effect of Tysabri. I've been really careful about my diet and supplements to make sure I'm getting the nutrition I need. I've also been stretching like crazy and sometimes it helps, but sometimes it causes the muscles to cramp immediately.

t - I have been on copaxone and am now on Tysabri. Perhaps someone else here has experience with Aubagio and will speak up.From you name I am going to assume you are on Rebif?

call the companies, I found that many offer financial assistance. Biogen and Copaxone do for Tysabri and I think the new oral pill does. Don't know which medications you refer to or if they are MS meds, but do contact the companies. It's worth a try, my first 2 years of Tysabri were free if I needed them.

Lol I will let u know:) Drs here don't work together. That's part.of the problem. As for tysabri I think not enough research has been done on it so I told.him I would rather be in wheelchair.than get pml and be dead. That's pretty final. Tonya I have to tell u I admire your attitude. A.statement u made in another post regarding fear on fear really hit me. Since I.passed.out twice at my grandkids school I am becoming fearful of.going.

It's 99% official - they are taking me of Tysabri - my allergic reaction (GI difficulties) was getting worse. My neuro drew blood for an antibodies test - he thinks my body has developed antibodies to fight Tysabri, and if that be the case, I am 100% off of it. So am taking a "holiday", knowing the rebound I am facing, to recover. We will make a final decision when the blood test come back.

They found out the reason people contracted PML was because they were taking Avonex/and the other MS medications with Tysabri. I think the Tysabri has given me a second chance at helping slow my disease progress, but with out it I would be on no MS medications to slow the disease. I did alot of research before I decided to start the medication and the one resource that helped me make my decision was reading the Tysabri diaries on line. www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?

I have had MD for 18 years. Been on Avonex, Betaseron, Tysabri, and now Tecfidera. Unfortunately, I'm also on lots of other medications, mostly due to terrible central pain. My neurologist made me stop the Tysabri after 24 infusions because of safety concerns. I felt my overall best while on Tysabri and have asked him if and when I might be able to go back on the monthly infusions. He does not have an answer for me at this point.

Are any of you on Tysabri? My doctor has suggested that I consider starting Tysabri treatment. His neurology practice runs a TOUCH infusion center. I've been on Copaxone for four years and have just had my first flareup. My recent MRI shows progression of MS with T2 hyperintense white matter lesions in the pons of the brainstem and the frontal lobe. Several of the older lesions have increased in size. Five years ago I was on Avonex. I had multiple flare-ups the whole year on this med.

I would like some information/details from anyone who has had (or seen) the rash you can get from Tysabril and/or PML?? I have been on Tysabri 10 years so far without any major issues. I was outside after my treatment for 10 minutes or so. After taking my shirt off, my husband gasped and asked what was wrong with my back.

I've been tested twice in the last year, and they were both negative. Since you can acquire JCV at any time, I opt to have my status tested once a year since I'm on Tysabri. There is also a Tysabri antibody titre available, now. I plan on doing that once a year, too, although development of Tysabri antibodies is relatively rare.
