Default So sorry, Victor

Victor, I'm sorry the cost of your Tysabri remains a problems. Question - why not go to a different infusion center that charges appropriately?

As for their assistance program, through NORD, anyhow, they have a long process. I actually have the paperwork - and I'm still gathering all of the documents for them. Sigh. Like I have the energy for this! But they also told me that it will take time even when they do get it all - and they won't pay retroactively.

When I was on copaxone (for 5 weeks), their financial assistance was available to me immediately and it was seamless. Oh well.

Tomorrow I have my second infusion. I spoke to my neuro today and he said it was okay to have the Ty while on antibiotics. Not going to post more about this...at least until after I have the infusion. I'm already 5.5 weeks since my first one - and I don't want it delayed any more!

Vic - I hope it all works out for you....
