2) got to www.tysabri.com

3) go to http://www.tysabri.com/en_US/tysb/pdf/TYSABRI-pi.pdf which is the insert for tysabri that lists all the clinical trial data, the adverse reactions and contraindications.

Most everything you want to know about Ty is listed there. You can read through it and all your questions will be answered!

Many people have talked about their experiences in the sticky above which is what it's for...to help you with your questions.

A quick run through the prescribing information showed no indication of a low WBC. But, that doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
Thanks Av8rgirl. I was reading some of the ty posts but my eyes got tired. From the other websites I've read it says it does lower the WBC. I don't want to go on something that's gonna lower my WBC and leave me open to colds/flu.

I wouldn't think with it being an antibody it would lower the WBC.

I'm anemic right now so I don't know if I could even go on it until they get my blood count up and keep it up.

Thanks for your response.
