Hi all, So today I found out that my insurance company approved the Tysabri for 6 months. Wow. Looks like I am going on Ty. When I called the doc's office they scheduled me for July 8!! (which is almost 3 weeks away). I asked if I could get in earlier...I'm not sure I can sit around waiting and obsessing about it for that long. Any advice on the first infusion? Should I insist on Benadryl? I'm sensitive to meds and was on IV antibiotics for a month--they had to slow the infusion down to 1 hour instead of 30 minutes because my body couldn't take it that fast. Should I insist they slow the Ty. infusion to 90 mins. instead of 60 mins. just to be safe?
