If this person is in the USA, he is under the TOUCH program. That means that the Tysabri prescription has to be renewed every 6 months. That means the doctor and infusion center have to be TOUCH certified.
If he has no confidence in his doc, he should find one that he DOES have confidence in.
I can't imagine going through all this without the doc on my side and alert to what is going on with my treatment. While my neuro doesn't treat my general medical problems, he would consult with my GP as to what is going on and what to do about it, since he knows more about the drug than the GP does.
