My sister, who has MS, is having the
Tysabri infusions. I believe she said that her medicine and
infusions costs are $7,000 a month. This medicine is quite expensive, and is usually not the first drug of treatment when diagnosed with MS. Typically, the other disease modifying drugs have not worked before this one is prescribed.
As far as taking shots for the rest of my life, I really doubt it. What I understand is that a new oral medicine, Fingolimod, will be available next year.
