Here is my Tysabri update after infusion #9. My graphs show that I have had 10 infusions, but that is because I made a mistake in selecting "0" as a start point rather than 1.

Glad to hear that you are approved and everything's done! Were you on another DMD, and is that why you had the long wait after approval?

I hope your first infusion goes well, along with the ones that follow! Please let us know how it goes for you!

Hey Vic? Nice charts, but what's going on there? Are you having a relapse?

RW,

I don't think that it is an exacerbation, since it has been taking a while to get to the point where degradation is more pronounced. It may be the development of antibodies, the monthly UTI's, or stress-related (over-worked)...or a combination of all of them.

My neurologist and I agree to stick with it until N=25, at which time I can draw some statistical conclusions. Prior to that, it may just be speculation about what is going on with me and Tysabri.

I am more than happy to give it more time.

i was on rebif but stopped it on the 3rd of Jan... i was approved pretty quick for the TY it was just the testing my neuro wanted before my first infusion (blood work,MRI) that took forever.. i don't know how much blood they took but just when i thought i was done.. i would get a call saying "hey lets test you for this also just to be safe" better safe then sorry i guess.. but it did get old pretty quick..

I had my second Ty infusion yesterday. No reactions, but for some reason my neuro is now having everyone takeTylenol and Claritin before their infusions. I'm wondering if more of his patients are having reactions. Before my first dose, I asked him if I should premedicate and he said no. He also said then that too few of his Ty users had reactions to merit premedication. I'll ask him about this at my next visit. It seems a bit odd to me.

Glad to hear that it went smoothly for you. Also I just wanted to know that I have been thinking about you and your family. You have been missed.

I would also be interested in hearing your neur's response since I am one of those having reactions. Hopefully, premedicating with benadryl iv will work for me.

Just an FYI for those of you who were not around for the initial release of Ty, premedicating with tylenol and benadryl was part of the original protocol. I am wondering since it was on the market for such a short time (3 months), they didn't see any reactions. Now that's it been on the market for a longer period, they've seen these reactions and are going back to the original protocol. Just my thoughts on this...

Glad you are doing better Joelle and have had your second infusion.

I'm in with my infusion appointment set at last. I go in 3-18 at 10am for my first. I thought it would be another 2-3 weeks b4 infusion, but my main nuero had a fit at the infusion neuro center and I'm in Tues. Now, I just pray nothing goes wrong and that ty works for me. I'll keep you updated on how things go. ~Sheena~
