tysabri weight gain

Hi SS - Congrats on your move to Portlandia. Even bigger congrats on getting back in your running shoes! Keeping our bodies as strong as we can is really important. As to Tysabri's healing powers I'm not so sure. I am sure that it is effective at dramatically slowing the progress of MS. I'v had 18 infusions and Tysabri is the only DMD I've used. Since starting Tysabri I've seen no appreciable worsening of my MS. If I can stay where I am now I'll be very happy.

On the down side, steroids make you swell up and sometimes it is hard to loose the weight you gain. It is better to gain weight than to have a never ending relapse. If you do get a lot of energy, please do not over do it. Keep it for when you have very little of it. I hope you get better soon. One question, have your MS specialist told you the ups and downs of Tysabri. I have done a lot of research about it, I am not still comfortable with the idea, but hopefully it will work for you.

Last week I started my 3rd significant relapse this year, my specialist nurse is now talking about Tysabri. I was on Rebif for about 15 months and wasnt getting on with the side effects so I switched to Copaxone 6 weeks ago, which I'm quite happy with. I looked up Tysabri when I got home and all I got was all the bad news about the PML patients. They say that theres a 1/1000 chance of getting it, that seems quite high to me.

He decided it was time to try Tysabri. So last June he sent me to UCSF to check if I could go in the program and I got in right away. I saw my regular neuro again in July and his attitude was like...well they have control of your meds now so what do you want me to do for you?? HHHMMMM you scheduled a follow up appt, so I came. So he did reschedule me for 6 months out anyway. I went to UCSF to get a brain MRI and check up on Jan 5th. Brain MRI looks like no changes...

Look up weight gain according to BMI and it will give you a good idea on the amount of weight you should gain according to your body type.

Well I'm 7 months that means I'm 27 weeks and I have only gain 1 pound my midwife said it was OK 4 me to not gain weight bcz I'm over weight so u girls tell me it seems like I won't have to do a lot of weight loss. How far are u nd how much you gain?

You won't gain weight until later...

Of course you'll gain weight.

Aww don't worry. In my experience, weight gain tends to stall at the end.

You gain the most weight in the last 8 weeks. So you might barely gain now, and then pack it on fast toward the end which is normal.

I don't even know where to begin. I went into the TOUCH Program thru UCSF in order to do treatments of Tysabri. For those that don't know, Tysabri is still being closely monitored and you have to be involved in the TOUCH Program and visit the Dr every 3 months for them to monitor your progress for the first year. (so I was told) So that means a 250 mi trip one way every 3 months and if I have a flare I have to go in sooner and be examined before I can have another treatment.

Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time doing my Copaxone injections since I've lost so much weight from my cancer (down to only 82 lbs now). I can't handle the pain from the injections anymore. I'm going in to talk to the PA of my neuro to see about maybe starting Tysabri or Gilenya. It seems my insurance, Aetna, may require me to try Rebif before I'm allowed to try one of these DMDs. Anyone else have the same issue?

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm 36weeks pregnant and since my last doctors appointment I haven't gained any weight. I didn't gain weight in the 1st trimester due 2 sickness, but in the 3rd I've been pretty steady with my weight gain...at the very least a poun a week. And now it's been almost 2 weeks and still no weight gain. Could that mean anything? Or is it just normal? Thanks in advance!

So my dr says my weight gain is fine. He said 1 pound per week along I am.. So I am 32 weeks and I have gained 31 lbs... Does that sound like a lot?!? What has everyone else gained? Or is that a horrible question to ask everyone?

I haven't gain that much weight but I'm pretty sure I was at least 7 to 10 pounds over weight before I got pregnant.... I'm 5'3 so i think i should weight a little less..... maybe 125lb Before I had my beautiful baby girl (now 25 months) I was working out a lot and I was feeling good ...lol I went down to 128lbs and that when my hubby decided that it was time for another baby ..... I don't even know how or when did It happen.... :(.

I believe that prevacid can cause weight gain ..seems so many babies are now diagnosed with reflux we used to call it cholic and wait for it to pass now seems they put them on meds.Still your doctor would know the answer, I think its the meds and whilst you child ius on them he may gain weight.good luck once he is off the meds he may go down to a normal weight.

Thanks so much for even reading my long post lol :) I get a little wordy. I needed those words of reassurance thank you :) I was all worried because medhelps tracker showed that I was at a way high weight gain. So do you think I won't gain any more weight for a while then since your 16weeks and have also gained 10lbs?

I was around 137 pre pregnancy and am now 151. Is this a normal amount of weight gain and how much more weight is normal??? I feel like I've gained so much since some women don't gain any.

Your perfectly fine. With your weight gain.

Talk to ur dr about ur weight gain or lack of. Your baby is getting plenty of nutrition as long as your taking ur vitamins and eating your fruits and veggies. Good lucky honey.

So Im 18 weeks and I dont usually update my weight on this app, but I decided to do it this week and I've gained 17 pounds! Is that a lot!? Cause this app thingy says "excessive weight gain" and my sister gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy and she ended up having a c section because my nephew was 10 pounds! :( Should I be worried?

Im 6 ft toll and only 137.5lbs. I would like to gain weight and that it can go in muscles but it s hard when we go to school and don t have time/money to eat well. If somone have a solution it would be really nice.

Im 25 weeks. I lost 10 lbs and I've only gained 3 of that back.
