Wow. I just realized I forgot to post getting #32 in January! This is the first time I forgot. Just had #33 last Friday. They no longer do infusions in the doctor's office. They built an infusion clinic. It's pretty swanky--private rooms for each person, flat screen TVs, new chairs that pull out almost like beds. BUT.... now it's considered hospital based treatment which means my insurance pays 80% and I pay 20% rather than me paying a $30 copay per infusion in the doctor's office.

I also have to buy the Tysabri through the clinic on the same 80/20 plan instead of through Medco Pharmacy. I'm not a happy camper. However, Biogen has some subsidy plans so it knocked the cost of the Tysabri down to $10 a pop. Wow!! They also offer some help for the actual infusion. If you don't know about this you should call Biogen right away and try to save yourself some money.

Hope everyone is doing well. Still no relapses since starting Tysabri and it will be 4 years this July (now getting every 7-8 weeks because of infections).
