Default Tysabri problems?

I am new to this site and wasn't sure where to post my message. Yesterday I had my 10th infusion, last night my fingers swelled up all on my right and 2 on my left hand. I had the infusion on my left. But it so painful I can't make a fist open a door... typing is troubling. Yesterday I complained about an uterine infection that won't go away 2 months 10 days of antibiotics. Talked to my neuro and he told me 800mg of advil 3x a day and Ice on hands. If I see red streaks up my arms (YIKES) go to ER. I think this was my last infusion, although I don't feel like I had any side effects till now. I can't live like this. Where do I go from here?

I'm not an expert, but I would skip the Tysabri for a couple of months to see if the infection clears up and your other recent symptoms stop. I don't think you should even be on TY with an active infection anyway, should you?
