Hi Bstnlives and welcome to our Tysabri thread! Glad you found us and sorry you have to be here!

Boy, I never heard of that reaction before. It certainly doesn't sound like fun!

I wonder if it isn't something that you had lurking that is getting treated while Tysabri is treating your MS...What I mean is I used to have small patches of what my doc said was eczema or psoriasis that never bothered me before Tysabri. After my first few infusions, I noticed that the tiny patches seemed to be more pronounced, more raised, but not severely and not itchy. It was sort of a "hmmm" thing more than anything for me. After a few infusions, I noticed that they were gone and they never came back.

The other thing I am wondering is if you might be gluten intolerant/sensitive. I don't know much about that but there are lots of folks out on the general MS board that have loads of info that may lead you in the right direction.

Hope you find some answers! Come back and let us know how it goes!
