Default 7 down

I had my seventh Tysabri infusion yesterday. There is a delay in my post since I came home at 5 pm and crashed from a low grade fever, exhaustion and a headache. Sometimes I feel like I've been run over by a truck after the infusion! But 24 hours later I am feeling good to go. I also found out I am negative for Ty. antibodies so that is a relief. They did the test at the 3rd month mark but lost it and never bothered to tell me. I assumed since I did not hear from them I was okay. Anyhow, they ran it again in Dec. after the 6th infusion and of course I sat around and worried because of the fevers-- but again, it was negative.

PS: Biogen just sent me a new drug insert. They've added something new that wasn't there before. It says that slightly low hemoglobin may be a result of the drug. I wonder if this is why I've been showing slight anemia on occasional bloodwork tests?
