Hi Jenna, I started getting a UTI after every infusion (infusion #14-17 which involved antibiotics all the time. We decided to switch to every 8 weeks. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I have not had a relapse even on the 8 week plan. You might ask your neuro if you can try this before being yanked off. Of if that makes you nervous ask for every 6 weeks. Be proactive. Ask for the 6 or 8 week plan and ask the neuro to give you 2-3 months to try it. You might find the infections stop and the drug still helps. Good luck!

Here is my problem, I just finished up a 2nd round of doxycyline for and infection of the uterus (Endometritis) This is my third month having problems with this and my OBGYN says there is no normal cause for this infection and my Neuro wants to pull me off Tysabri if I have this infection again this month. I'm scared cause I feel like Tysabri has made my MS stable, but I also don't want to have some weird chronic infection that no one can explain.... and besides it hurts 
Has anyone had something similar, or any advice?
Thanks,
