Novantrone soon after Tysabri could be a problem. Most neuros these days won't prescribe Novantrone after Tysabri until a long washout period has been completed due to the possible adverse reactions that could result. It's the combo thing.
I hate this #$%@^&* disease. I hate the whole thing. I hate that we have to make these decisions. I hate that we have to consider every detail of every drug and what they can do to us. I hate that we have to study things we never thought we would ever have to know about the science and makeup of drugs. I hate that we have to listen to a doc who may not study and keep up on the details like we have to, when what we choose may be a life changing decision! I hate the fact that there hasn't been enough money spent since this stupid disease was discovered to find out WHAT CAUSES IT! We can send people into space but we can't figure out what eats our own brains??? Aaargh!
(sorry, my rant...it just gets so frustrating!)
