Not that we're unhappy with the center we're using - but we'd like to see if there are any centers closer to home. We're in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Thanks.

JJ & LL,

I got it. I asked the same question about infusion centers in my area a while back.

Please ref reply to my post on TY (this) board on 3-6-08 by Riverwild. Per her, I did a google on MSActiveSource. I don't recall what number I called but it was not problem to find and they put me straight to a sup w/o my asking. They were great to me; I got all centers in every distance from here I asked for - ex 25 - 50 - then 75 miles. When you find it please post number. I should have. My bad. Good Luck Sheena

I posted (yesterday?) about the new information on the www.tysabri.com site.

Click this link, type in your state or zip and see what comes up. You can get results in mile increments. http://www.tysabri.com/tysbProject/t...ion-center.xml

While all infusion centers listed may NOT be TOUCH certified, they will be if there's patients looking for infusion. I was the first person in my county to be infused with Tysabri and my tiny hospital ( 25 beds) was certified within a week when Tysabri was prescribed for me.


Good Luck to you and LL and let us know how you make out!
