Hi Clark!
The no steroid treatment prior to starting Tysabri is common among neurologists since Tysabri was returned to market in 2006.

The monitoring program advises that you shouldn't have pulse steroids (as in a dose every month) but you CAN have a course of steroids to treat a relapse, but a lot of neuros get nervous about it.

So far there's no news or rumors of a study on this subject now that they have the JCV antibody test.

Hope the restart goes smoothly for you.
