Here is a link to an editorial on Tysabri (not this case announced today) and "suspected cases."

This article was written 6 days ago and cites an "investigative news piece" about 22 suspected cases of PML as of Oct. Take it with a grain of salt. Not sure what investigative news piece means??

It's not what Biogen/Elan are telling us, it's what they aren't telling us when it comes to Tysabri! You really start to wonder what the long term effects of this drug may be.

Since it's still somewhat new Harry ... we may find out more as time goes on, but it's like that with any drug.

I get my 21st infusion on Friday.

Hi Wiz,

You are certainly correct in saying we'll find out more as time goes on...I just wish that I could put more trust in what Biogen tells us about this drug. Their reputation in the world of MS medicine isn't all that good!

Take care.

Harry

Now this is very interesting speculation as to why Tysabri may cause PML in the brain.

Default Update
Here is an even better article on the subject from the researcher's home institution. An article this month in the Archives of Neurology addresses the reduction of brain immunity in people on Tysabri.

All, excellent publications, Natalie.. To Spite what Biogen thinks, the MS world knows how important it is, to keep Patients informed.....not frightened but informed.
