Thanks Becca,

I know, I found that out yesterday. This is going to bug me until I find out what, if anything, is wrong. I saw the dermatologist last week to get a baseline check for moles and such. She said all of my moles are normal and healthy. But I also asked for something for the crown of my head. It's been itching madly. She gave me a strong shampoo made for people with psoriasis, though all she saw was a tiny bit of dandruff. The shampoo costs $200+ for 4 oz. before insurance.

So all I have is that itching and the abdominal pain. I don't know if the PCP ordered a liver panel last week or not. I'll ask today when I talk to his nurse.

I hope I'm just worrying over nothing. It does say on the package insert for Tysabri that abdominal pain can be a side effect. I think it also mentions pruritis (sp?) which I think means itching.

I'm pretty careful to have a healthy diet with lots of carcinogen fighters, so I doubt it's anything serious.
