Common Questions and Answers about Tysabri ms fatigue

Avatar f tn Given that you diagnosis is fairly new, I might be inclined to think your fatigue is MS related, rather than Tysabri related. I think it is certainly cause for a chat with your neuro.
Avatar f tn Do you normally start feeling weaker as it gets close to the time for your Tysabri? If so, that may be playing a role. I know a teacher with MS who swears by Tysabri - it is making her feel much stronger. Get some rest - you deserve it!
Avatar f tn Recently diagnosed with MS (November) and they are starting me with the drug Tysabri. Trying to find out what to expect and if it is helping others with their symptoms? All new to this, really have no idea what I need to know or ask? Just looking for someone with some insight on what I will experience.
Avatar f tn My lesions were increasing and I still had the fatigue that went along with MS. Ive been on Tysabri for almost 4 years with no flare ups. For having MS, I feel great. I used to get monthly blood work to check for PML and would take 2 to 3 month "holidays", just so my body wouldn't be over exposed to the Tysabri. (It lasts in your system for up to 3 months). I recommend Tysabri to anyone that has MS. It beats daily self injections, and its only once a month.

Avatar f tn while on Tysabri. Any news would be appreciated. Also, does anyone report increased fatigue while on Tecfidera? I am over all of the flushing and gastro upset. Just very fatigued - way more than ever before. I am taking Nuvigil and could not make it through the day without it! Be well and try to stay positive everyone.
5993128 tn?1384747803 Hi BL- Welcome to Our Merry Band :-) I was diagnosed 2 years ago, at age 51, with SPMS. My first, and up until a week ago my only, DMD was Tysabri. When I was diagnosed we were able to connect seemingly random events over the previous 20 years. What seemed completely unrelated was related. All were symptoms of MS. Because I'd had MS for so long my doc thought I was out of reach of the injectables. At the time the orals were just starting to come on the market.
Avatar f tn I was changed to Tysabri and had my first infusion yesterday and everything went great, no reactions or side effects. However, I could swear I have more energy today. I have not been shopping for months and today I was able to go shopping. Is this my imagination? Just a rare good day? Or could the med already be having an effect on my fatigue? FYI, all other symptoms are pretty much the same.
Avatar f tn I also had a headache and joint pain right after the infusion. Will Tysabri help with tiredness after a few infusions?
Avatar m tn The injections only work 33% if started at the beginning stages of Relapsing Remitting MS. There is Tysabri an infusion and their are drug trials for oral medications. Sometimes they can even use chemo but it is rough stuff. Unfortunately to date these are the only proven treatments. Some people go to other countries to get stem cells. The problem is stem cells can't repair damage they can only in some cases slow future damage but usually only for awhile.
572735 tn?1217201019 t do because of my kidneys. Then he suggested tysabri. My choice is not to attempt tysabri because of the chance of brain infection with my body making interferon and on the advice of someone dx'd with MS and living with MS for the past 30 years. So, now we are possibly looking at sandimmune or cellcept. Both anti-rejection drugs. Allergic? perhaps slightly to copaxone, sensitive to the side effects of others. What if you're allergic to beta?
Avatar n tn Okay, I've had MS for 13 years. I was just taken off Tysabri in July, I was on that for almost 5 years. I now have to go on Gylena in January, but before I start the new drug...I have to do 6 months of iv steroids. 3 days every month with NO taper! I have just finished my second round...and I'm ready to through in the towel. The side affects of the steroids are at this point almost not worth doing. They are trying to prevent a relapse since I am not on any MS therapy.

1475492 tn?1332884167 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.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome. I can't say anything about Tysabri side effects as I've never been on Ty, but quite a lot of others here have been, and some of these will be able to comment on this through their experiences. I can say, though, that the bumps/rash are very likely to be a reaction to something or other, and in themselves are not an MS symptom. Now as to why you're having more MS problems, I'd say it's because this is a genuine relapse.
Avatar f tn I have also heard of the rebound effect after coming of tysabri. So far ive noticed my fatigue is worse and my balance is off again but not like it was. Before tysabri I had a cane and walker now I use nothing and would like to keep it that way. I started doinf volunteer work for hospice and love it. I would hate to go back to what I was before tysabri. I am seeing ms specialist dec 31st to see what my options are for dmd. I wont go back to shots and not happy with side effect profile from tec.
10624661 tn?1414900629 Has anyone been recently been diagnosed with MS and awaiting Tysabri treatment? And been suggested that they may have Bipolar disorder due to several mood swings?
216354 tn?1262871346 However, she was also told that if she were to stop tysabri she was pretty much guaranteed to have an attack of the MS. She has an agressive form of MS and other medications don't seem to work. We haven't seen much improvement with tysabri, but at least she hasn't had anymore attacks while on it. Can anyone shed more light on this for me? I was hoping to gather more information on this if anyone has it. Please let me know! Thanks!
2063887 tn?1337829746 After being on the ivsm, i still have significant balance, numbness and fatigue issues. They both suggested Tysabri would be the most beneficial for me, but my insurance felt otherwise being the specialists that they are LOL! Copaxone gave me nasty migraines so neuro two decided to try again. This time i am learning to look into other options if they won't approve it!
