I don't think you can blame Biogen for high infusion center costs. My last couple of doses of Ty were around $2650 for the med, and $150 for the infusion center. I don't think my Rebif or Avonex was much cheaper than that for the med. I'm on Copaxone now, and I don't know what the total is, just my co-pay.

I'll tell you what is heart-breaking. When you go on Ty, love being on Ty, then develop NABs and have to go off Ty and move to Copaxone. PML was never a concern. If you get it, you get it. I could also be hit by a car, but that isn't going to stop me from driving.

Random thoughts from an unhappy C user!
