Hey Y'all!! I went for Tysabri #15 this morning. No hives or other problems!! I took a book and worked on some Sudoku. Came home, had lunch and a nap!! All that sitting is exhausting!! I seem to have a little more energy after infusions and the 'brain fog' seems to clear. I recommend Tysabri to anyone who asks!! We've had some rain and cooler weather. Not like Dave's but...

I have an option to switch from Rebif to Tysabri and I am having a hard time with the decision. On a monthly basis I would have to: Drive 350 miles (seven hours on the road) Pay for fuel ($50?) Pay $200 for the infusion out of pocket (rest would be covered by insurance) Right now I'm on Rebif, and even though I hate it, I am thinking I might just stay on it. What do ...

Replying to: Tysabri #15 Hi, Megan!! I hope to be able to help you feel more comfortable about the "big T." I've lived with this MonSter for 20+ years. Did A, B, R, Novantrone and now Tysabri. I'm 55 and still moving (slowly with cane, occasional scooter, rarely a transport chair, and my red Segway!) I haven't gained or lost weight due to T. I had hives a ...

Many thanks for the replies. Maybe (probably) fear of Tysabri makes it easier for me to lean towards sticking with Rebif. In reading Natatude's rely (and MSGeorges posts) I feel like I definitely need to do more research on switching. Time and money could be a small price to pay for longer mobility,working,etc. I'd like to be there for my wife and kids as long as possible. ...
