Cool Scared but optimistic with RRMS

Hi. I am in the process of switching my med from copaxone to tysabri. I used to be on rebif and copaxone. I had horrible reactions and have to switch. I am thrilled it will be 1 time a month and very scared about the possible side effects. I live in South Jersey outside Philly and have two little guys ages 3 and 5. I also have a big guy age 39 (my loving and supportive husband). I have been on no medicine since July and hopefully will begin Tysabri in October. I would love any advice or tips. Can you drive there yorself for the infusion? Do you get nauseus? skin reaction? fatigued? infections? vaginitis? How do you deal? What do you take to combat it? Is vaginitis like a yeast infection? Do you eat before infusion? What type of skin rash? Does it itch or just look ugly? Does Benadryl help? Do you take vitamin supplements? Do you avoid crowds during flu season? I have a great support system, but I sometimes do not accept help well and am very independent. Any thoughts?
