There are two MAJOR obstacles for me in dealing with Tysabri: Tysabri cost and infusion cost.

TYSABRI COSTS:
About ten minutes ago my neurologist, Gail Hartley, called me and set-up a call with the Biogen representative. Gail is amazing!

Moments after my call from her, I received a call directly from Biogen and they are working out a plan to help me deal with Tysabri costs! I should hear from them on the final cost after their financial assitance in ten days.

Woooo Hoooo !!!


INFUSION CENTER COSTS:
I have been contacted by my insurance company and they too are amazed at how my infusion costs have gone from unbearably high to unrealistic. They are investigating the costs and are negotiating with the infusion center now. They may have me change infusion centers to a lower cost one that was just opened here in Riverside, CA. That, in terms of a potential business loss to my existing infusion center, should drop the price significantly!

Another Woooo Hoooo !
