Update from German blog of the husband of the Feb 10 PML case
Pit:, 02:30 ..am, (( for newbies: Pit`s wife is one of the pml cases - Feb 09 - )) "Hello all, Since the 15th of Apr., the 6 th case of pml - after 31 months - is listed in the Ty-update. Again, ex-USA, and I bet , again a case in Germany.. Next week I shall clarify this. If this is the case - then we would have 4 pml cases out of 6 being from Germany. People, that is no coincidence, like they want to make us believe. The federal committee has issued a drug policy with reference to Ty, in mid Oct 2008. http://www.g-ba.de/downloads/39-261-...zumab_BAnz.pdf Last edited by Chemar; 04-20-2009 at 06:53 PM.

The patient had been on Tysabri for 31 months (almost 3 years). Tysabri was not approved in the EU until Jul 2006. Most countries in the EU except Germany and the UK have long reimbursement application processes (6 months or longer). The UK has local reimbursement application processes. Therefore it is highly likely this latest case in the 4th PML case from a German patient.
As a US Tysabri patient, this sure makes me feel more confident that the TOUCH program is providing an extra measure of safety. |

Sorry for the long post - thought some may appreciate the update on PML #5 patient from her husband who should be sainted as he's just gone through this PML experience, setting up/preparing for her rehabilitation, dealing with uncovered medical expenses, and he's worried about making sure other MS patients on Tysabri receive proper preventative measures. My important takeaway is that she had new symptoms which she wrote off as MS. TYsabri patients need to be cognizant of new sypmtoms and suspect PML first until confirmed as just new MS symptoms.

Infusion #1 done and history, no problems, no need for Benedryl or Epinephrine, drove home in nasty Twin Cities road construction traffic, stopped at Lil' Oscars for dinner on the way home..Everything went great (yay!)..Love you, too, SK!

Thanks, Sal..I'm keeping a positive attitude. It went so well yesterday, I'm hoping it keeps on going that well..Felt fine today, didn't poop out till later in the afternoon..That's pretty good for me. I don't know if it's just the high from finally getting this done, or if it's the Ty, but I'll take it anyway!
