RW, I'm so happy for you!!!
 ...but, I haven't been following this Ty thread and I don't know what the JC test is.  But if you're excited, then I'm excited for you, friend! Hope you enjoyed your meet and eat with the Wabbit.

When the rep asked me if I had any questions
 let me think !!I asked about jcv test coming back positive. She said 80% of adults have been exposed to the virus-it is dormant and 65% of adolescents. It doesn't mean that 80% will get pml-just that they've been exposed to the virus. Fifty percent of those that contacted pml had received immunosuppressant drugs prior to Ty. As of 8/4/10 there are 71,400 people who have had Tysabri (I said 1 or more infusions-she just laughed ...??) world wide 40,800 are in the U.S. Biogen does have 2 financial aid programs but does not help with infusions. I complained again that we want info like it was presented till 7/24/08. I told her that next month will be 4 years for me and telling me chances of pml increase with time on Ty means nothing - I need and have the right to have real odds so I have the info to make an informed decision. She agreed, took notes and said she will pass on. Just wanted to share Linda |

Well I am currently getting infusion #23 right now. Just waiting for the saline drip to finish. Today was nice--I got put in a room by myself (instead of the usual row of chairs with others). It was quiet and I could kick back and read and nap. Every time I come for an infusion I realize how much I love Tysabri! #24 is scheduled for November and then after that I am not sure what will happen. The clinic is still waiting on approval for the JC virus test. Big medical school = big bureaucracy. With a negative test I would love to stay on the drug. Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well!!
