He is requesting through my insurance (HMO) a referrral to a ms center/specialists at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. He already talked to them and they said that I absolutely had to stop tysabri; that my reactions would just get worse. He does not forsee any problems with getting the referral. So I am just going to try to destress for a few weeks and then see what the specialists think. I imagine it may take awhile to get an appointment.
Barb,

I hope that you can find a medication that helps. It may be worth your time to see if there are any MS Medication trials whithin which you can participate. Alternatively, maybe you can go back on one of your pre-Tysabri medications which seemed to work.

I am crossing my fingers for you.
