Default Just wondering what you would do?
If you tested positive for JC Virus.....

would you immediately stop Tysabri?

would it depend on the number of infusions you had?

would you stay on for one year regardless of the JC Virus results?

This is just me. I'd stop immediately. The positive test is a warning that something is not right.

When we did the JC assay, I told the doc then and there that it would be my deciding factor. If mine were positive I would have stopped. Fortunately, mine was negative, and as I fight my monthly sinus infection....
