JC-virus test
 

I posted another post earlier about my neuro and dh on my case about getting the jc-virus test, well, I DID IT!! Now everyone can get the heck off my back about it!! Positive or negative results, no matter to me because Im never doing tysabri. DH tried to talk me into trying it today if the test is negative, and I had to put my foot down again. Man, will he NEVER get the hint!! I did the test, and the phlebotomist botched it. I told her my only good vein is in my right arm, so what does she do :rolleyes:, she goes after my left arm. What an idiot! She not only couldnt get any blood, she dragged the needle out of my arm and cut my arm with the needle.Took me an hour to get the bleeding to stop. She went to my right arm and BAM!! Bled like a stuffed pig. I was in nursing for 20yrs, and number one thing, listen to the patient. They know their body. Oh, and I did phlebotomy also as a profession for awhile so I do know about that area as well. Ok, I think Im done. Feeling better now. Thanx for the ears :)

Not if Biogen is paying him a fee for every patient he rx Tysabri!

That is now illegal in the US. So if he is getting a fee, they'd better be careful!

Reps aren't even allowed to leave pens or pads of paper with the drug name printed on them anymore. Which is nice for me since DH doesn't bring them home anymore to clutter up the house!

I think some Neuros are convinced that Tysabri is their MS patients best bet, right now. They could be right....just not good enough for me. My old Neuro thought so and just laughed at me and my LDN. NOT my Doc anymore..;)

Think it's her husband that isn't getting the hint.

Glad you did the test, B2Y! And glad it is negative!
