Hi Natalie
What is your JCV status? My neuro wants me to find another treatment as I am 2.406 - the last thing I want to do is find another drug (I don't like the options). Cheers

Hi Linda
No, I am still using Tysabri - I am being an ostrich and sticking my head in the sand When I get the nerve up, I am going to contact my Neuro and ask for another JCV test. My reading of 2.406 was from data they collected in 2012. Before I can make any decision, I think I need to know exactly what is going on with me NOW.

My JCV status is negative. It's been like that for several years (knock on wood!!). Good luck with your decision making. The other drugs don't seem that appealing to me either. Natalie

me again Lynn
Have you given thought to getting your infusion at 5, 6, 7, 8 weeks instead of 4? The American Academy of Neurology has stated that going for longer periods of time lessons the chance of pml-I think, I understood out of, Maybe, 400 people those getting it at longer periods of time, no one got pml It's something to think about. Maybe you can look it up-approx 6 mths ago. I am now getting mine every 6 weeks-my MRI was the same after 3mths ! My best wishes and good luck !!!! Linda |

Lyn,
I just read about a new test that can possibly stratify PML risk even better than the JCV antibody test. What this means is that positive antibody test people can be identified as greater or lesser risk than titers show. I can't link to the article myself but it's posted in this forum thread. http://www.msworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=134636 Perhaps ask your doctor about this? This could be good news and help you in your decision if you can access the test.

Hey! Still here, still alive, still on Tysabri, still no new lesions, no enhancing lesions, no advance in progression of MS.
October is my month of two Tysabri infusions. I had # whatever it was at the start of the month and will have the second at the end of the month. Life is good. I have become a Magnate in my absence...whatevah that is!
