Don't give up yet, hang on tight and try to calm down. I know easy said - hard to do! Below you will find a copy of a post from Lauren dated 3-2007.

"...the Tysabri PI guide states on page 14: "If the presence of persistent antibodies is suspected, antibody testing should be performed. Antibodies may be detected and confirmed with sequential serum antibody tests.

Antibodies detected early in the treatment course (e.g., within the first 6 months) may be transient and disappear with continued dosing.

Repeat testing at 3 months after the initial positive result is recommended in patients in whom antibodies are detected to confirm that antibodies are persistent. Prescribers should consider the overall benefits and risks of TYSABRIŽ in a patient with persistent antibodies. "

laver: I have been advised that if you are pre-dosed with Benedryl or Claratin and given Tysabri at a slower drip rate, this greatly reduces any risk of an adverse reaction at the time of the infusion if the nabs are transient. Check with your dr. is my best advice and good luck!
