Natalie,

Yes, even with my insurance, Tysabri is costing me $36,000 per year out-of-pocket.

I think the retail value of Tysabri is about $4,500 per dose, and then you have to add on the infusion center costs.

It is disgusting and shameful that people have to pay so much for a medication.

What I have found is that the initial "quote" that you get for the cost of the Tysabri is BS. Similarly, the infusion center costs are BS.

Heck, MS is BS.....but that is just the way it goes.

It is no wonder that my dream of owning a P-51 went up in smoke. But, as I have said in several threads, it could always be worse.
