It is really a shock to get this diagnosis and then you worry when the symptoms are not getting better with treatment. But, please be patient with the treatment as it will eventually work and her symptoms will calm down. Is she still in the hospital? The disease is not curable but it can be slowed down as Deb has already explained.

I definitely think my meds have a lot to do with the frequent infections. I've been on Tysabri since late 2010 with a gap of a couple years until now. I'm also JCV+. My neurologist (PA) isn't overly concerned with my infections, and wants me to take around 12-14 supplements on a daily basis. This also doesn't include the 5 other medications I take because MS has damaged parts of my body.

We have a thread here with Tysabri patients discussing their experiences on it. Here is the link: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Multiple-Sclerosis/Tysabri-Users---Past-and-Present/show/1569374?controller=posts&action=show&id=# If for some reason that doesn't work, just put in "Tysabri users past and present" in the search area at the top and you should find it. I go for my 40th infusion tomorrow. Feel free to PM me if there's any way I can help.

It would be interesting to see what kind of a washout period they had in between. I wonder if it may be like so many other things with MS treatment, and vary depending on how a particular neuro feels about it. Still so many questions...

I have a very mixed reaction to this news - withholding this drug directly affects many people, including a few I know personally, who see this as a 2nd or 3rd line treatment, having failed on others. I have been on record as to how Campath/Lemtrada has been groomed to create huge profits for Genzyme/Sanofi. In this case I do wish the FDA had approved Lemtrada, and left the final INFORMED decision up to the person with MS and their medical team.

Martin, MDApril 15, 2010 (Toronto) -- Nearly 71% of people with early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) treated with the experimental MS drug alemtuzumab showed no evidence of disease activity four years into a study, researchers report. That's twice the percentage of patients treated with the approved treatment, Rebif, says researcher Alasdair Coles, PhD, of the University of Cambridge.
