BTW, I wasn't trying to talk you out of getting one--just sharing personal experience.

There haven't been any conclusive studies done on "Tysabri and flu shots". The decision is left up to the patient.

I asked and that's the answer I got.
Oh, I know you weren't trying to talk me out of it Gazelle, my GUT tells me NO don't get one, I never had one BEFORE why get one now.......



Av8girl, that statement is almost to the EXACT words MY neuro said........seems like MY doctor is no different then many of us here.....

Thanks for all the input!!

:-)
Joe
