tysabri

Avatar f tn Only Tysabri has shown the abilty to cut relapses and lesions by 2/3s. Tysabri is relatively new and is still has some issues. In fact no one knows what it does after 2 years. The more std. MS drugs, which are primarily interferons by the names of Avonex, Rebif and Betaseron cut MS activity by about 1/3. And thats if you have Relapsing Remitting MS. The drugs are all injected. A new drug that is oral "finglomod" is in phase 3 clinical trials.
572651 tn?1530999357 t do a lengthy washout period after stopping tysabri and I understand that patient had also been on tysabri for a longer period of time. How will they ever untangle is it was the Gilenya, the Tysabri or both that opened the door for PML to enter? Argh! Why aren't answers these days just clearly marked? I hate having all these unanswered questions about therapy that is so critical.
645390 tn?1338555377 ( I am not thrilled w Tysabri at this point. Was doing really well on it, from Jan 2010 until the summer when I lost my voice for 3 months. Tysabri was D/C then per Neuro. In case that was a side effect. I went back on Tysabri in Dec. My voice is still an issue. Neuro doesn't know still if side effect, and is leaving it up to me if I want to stay on. She would like me to stay on it, as there is no other alternative for me at the moment.
1221035 tn?1301000508 I have read on here by several members, that they have not considered Tysabri or Gilenya because their MS is not that aggressive. What does that mean? I was dx Jan 2010, MRI showed approximately 10 lesions, I had a real hard time accepting my dx....I really wasn't sure I had MS, so I refused a DMD. Then in Oct 2010, I had a new MRI that showed an additional 5 lesions. My Neuro said that we needed to get aggressive and he suggested Tysabri and/or Gilenya.
1337734 tn?1336234591 Here is what my neuro had to say about that, as many of you told me, many people who are JC+ take Tysabri. He explained that the TOUCH program allows them to monitor patients making it much safer. He did however tell me that I would be allowed to stay on Tysabri for only a year at best. Then he told me that although people feel great on it, as soon as they stop taking it they "crash and burn", meaning they feel terrible and begin having many relapses. Well that sure turned me off!
Avatar m tn Sugary Drinks Add to Global Death Rates By Chris Kaiser, Cardiology Editor, MedPage Today Published: March 20, 2013 Action Points This study was published as an abstract and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal. That pick-me-up sugary soda may ultimately put you 6' under, given findings that linked nearly 200,000 deaths worldwide in 2010 with sugar-sweetened beverages.

Avatar f tn Hi, Yes I have MS, I was diagnosed in Dec. 2010, I have being with a lot of symtoms, especialy that invisible symtoms, like ms hung, electricity and more. I was in Copaxone for about one year, then my neuro decided to move me to tysabri, I started tysabri two months a go. But I don't feel good.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am Barb. I was diagnosed with MS in late February/March this year. My first symptoms started in May 2010 but I really got "sick" in the fall of 2010. That is when I really felt the stress on my body. That stress really took a toll on me. I felt sick for about a year and half. I still do feel sick (fatigue, neurological symptoms and overall weakness) but there has been some improvement between flares it seems. For the last year and half, though, I was sick.
1638868 tn?1309542428 Could you give us a little background on what meds you've tried and for how long? I'm sure you've mentioned it before but I have a hard time keeping track of so much.
Avatar f tn If You Ever had treatment from Chemo therapy Do Not use the Tysabri. The reported deaths from Tysabri are arising from people with past Chemo treatments and from people that are taking Tysabri along with a second form of treatment. Some people with MS have a dormant Virus in them called JC Virus. Tysabri will trigger that Virus, the Virus lays dormant in the Brain.
163305 tn?1333668571 In spite of difficulties, 585 of 1372 (43%) HCV RNA positive patients received antiviral therapy between 1998 and 2010 at our local VA hospital; 226 of 583 treated (39%) achieved SVR [2]. 36% of deaths were from HCC or liver failure. Veterans with sustained viral response had substantially improved survival. Effective antiviral therapy improves prognosis [3], [4].
Avatar f tn I have been on Rebif for 8 years but my most recent MRI shoes several new lesions since 2010 and dr wants me to change therapies. I have ruled out going to another type of injection and don't think I should do Tysabri yet. Does any one have experience with switching over to Tecfidera, Aubagio , or Gilenya ? The new lesions are in the cerebellum and have caused walking and balance issues. Thank you in advance for any advice or info.
Avatar n tn My neurologist says that the symptom flareups I've had since 2010 are only pseudo-exacerbations because the MRI I had in 2010 showed no enhancing lesions so the MS isn't active. Thoughts?
