I got to thinking after I responded to your post on the MS board. Transient reactions have been noted in people who start Tysabri., with a lot of them calming after 4-6 infusions. If your blood test comes back positive for antibodies, your neuro may keep you on Tysabri for the next few months and check them again, as long as you aren't having full blown allergic reactions. That's why a lot of them use the benadryl/tylenol protocol. They aren't having anyone take more than 25-50 mg. of benadryl. The usual is 25 mg, more of a calming dose, to stop the histamines from ramping up. I'll see if I can find the info on this for you. I have it stored somewhere, but I am off to work and don't have time to search right now>
