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.
thanks riverwild!
i'm back in the hospital for iv steroids,
now my tysabri is delayed, but i'm looking forward to it. my avonex trial seemed like a failure, not to mention it was tearing up my legs, and i decided against copaxone after reading the side effects like injection site reactions etc
