Please do ask you Neuro and have a test soon, Barb..


When the FDA posted that warning last month, we immediately contacted the neurologist. We were told that he had already done a baseline liver function test as part of my wife's blood work BEFORE starting her on Tysabri. He told us that routine liver function tests were part of his protocol and that he expected to have her tested on a regular basis. When we persisted, he ordered another liver function test immediately (this was after her 4th infusion).

He also assured us that this is old news - that the FDA finally got around to posting it - but that most neurologists had already been aware (for years) of Tysabri's stress on the liver.
