I actually was at the end of my infusion when I told the nurse I was having a problem so I received all of the ty.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I am hoping and praying that I can tolerate tysabri and it helps.

I have noticed a bit of an increase in energy since starting.
We'll be waiting to see how it goes with you Barb! Just don't forget to premedicate!
