1458012 tn?1285582530 Hello, I was wondering if I took tysabri with having MS also RSD because with having the rsd it does weakend my immune system, I don't believe this would be a very wise decision do you?
688450 tn?1259468734 HAVE ANY OF YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE ADVERSE REACTIONS TO THE H1N1 VACCINE THAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT ALL OVER THIS FORUM? I HOPE NOT, AND IF SO WHAT KIND OF REMEDIES ARE YOU ADMINISTERING TO THEM? WHAT DOES YOUR PEDIATRICIAN SAY TO DO? HAS ANY OF YOUR DRS. OWNED UP AND ADMITTED THAT IT IS OBVIOUS TO THEM THAT IT IS THE H1N1 VACCINE THAT IS CAUSING THESE SYMPTOMS?
Avatar f tn I got my H1N1 shot at the end of October, I was 18w then... I had no problems at all and I was very glad to get it. I teach and I could see more and more students getting sick every day and sincerely I did not want to risk complications with my LO. I am 36w now. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn Last year, I got both shots and had no problems w/the H1N1 vax. I just wanted to let you know that in case you might be wondering about the H1N1 part. In fact, I really didn't hear of any ill effects in the news from anybody taking the H1N1 shot.
571042 tn?1271447141 Ok can someone explain to me why there is concern over the H1N1 shot? How I understand flu shots in general is they pick the strain that they expect to be bad the following flu season and they use that strain to make the vaccine. I thought they just did the same thing with the H1N1 strain but they have to have it in a different shot because they had already made the seasonal flu shot and they couldn't go back and add the H1N1 to the vaccine. So...
127124 tn?1326735435 My friend is trying to call the companys to find out if products like clorax bleach, clorox anywhere and Lysol spray and wipes kills the H1N1 virus. Do any of you know if these products do? Also if she is spraying toys with Lysol spray should she rinse the toys before letting the kids play with them?
168348 tn?1379357075 Pregnant women who are otherwise healthy have been severely impacted by the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus (formerly called “novel H1N1 flu” or “swine flu”). In comparison to the general population, a greater proportion of pregnant women infected with the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus have been hospitalized. In addition, severe illness and death has occurred in pregnant women.

478429 tn?1265244387 Soooo, I ended up taking DS to the peds office yesterday. He's had a cough since Sunday and it had gotten a little worse. I think, no biggie...My MIL called and said her boyfriend who got really sick about 2wks ago just got a call from the health dept. saying he tested +ive for whooping cough! Thankfully we got the results back already and DS is negative for it.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
572651 tn?1530999357 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.
363110 tn?1340920419 I had H1N1 a 1 month ago! I had vomiting, no appetite, high fever, extreme body aches and just plain miserable! I took tamiflu which really helped speed up the recovery! I had the flu for 7 days but in those 7 days I lost 7 -8 lbs! Overall, I ended up only losing 1 lb when I went to see the doctor 2 weeks later! I am doing just fine and am glad that I got the flu so that I do not have to get the vaccine!
875512 tn?1245524526 The H1N1 vaccine is not available yet, and I don't think it's even FDA approved yet. I got the flu shot when I was p/g with DS and I will probably get one this pregnancy also. I am iffy about the H1N1 vaccine. I posted a poll on here not to long ago about it and I'm sure you could do a search for it. But for me, I think it's too new of a vaccine especially for p/g woman to recieve it. I don't know though. I'm going to talk to my OB about it at my next appt.
1827617 tn?1317703371 My new neuro suggested Tysabri based on increased lesions on Interferon (Rebif). Any persons out there on Tysabri that could share their experience?
Avatar m tn I just recently had the H1N1 vaccine and the following day my right jaw was swollen. Obvisiously this was a big concern for me considering I just had the H1N1 vaccine the night before. I went to my doctor and he told me its a possibility that I have a stone in salivary gland and recommended that I suck on a lemon and he perscribed me some penicillin and if it gets worse I should see him.
Avatar n tn In light of the current H1N1 epidemic, and because I'm in my sixties, I'm wondering how hard flu is on the heart. I've just recently been diagnosed with PVCs and have about 8000 a day. Since I'll be unable to get that flu vaccine , I'm concerned that the H1N1 flu might really put a strain on my heart and lungs if I'd catch it from my grandkids. What do you think?
1760800 tn?1406753451 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!
1088527 tn?1425313375 I will start tecfidera in 3 months I hope I dont have the rebound effect I have heard about after stopping tysabri. Tysabri has really changed the way I feel was using a walker now nothing and I do Zumba too. I hope I stay like this but having doubts. anyone using tecfidera? How was your experience.?
Avatar f tn So now he wants to take me off of the Copaxone, I have been on for a month and a half, and put me on Tysabri. I started the application process and now waiting for them to call me and get the ball rolling on that. Now he mentioned that this is the top of the line MS medication so that does give me some relief. P.S. I did test negetive for the JC Virus. Any thoughts, experiences etc on this Tysabri??!!
