Tysabri how does it make you feel? Had to change due to a new patch
On my 2nd Tysabri infusion and don’t feel too good. Is this normally the case?Feeling super fatigued and not as sharp. Thought I was going to feel as well as I did after the 1st infusion, thought it was great! I am expecting a baby too 👶 and I have come off duloxotine so maybe that’s not helping. The neuropathic pain I have in my hands has gone back into my arms now and with more vigour. Any suggestions on a alternative to help this kind of pain? Ms nurse suggested deep heat to have an alternative to feeling intense tingling. Got gp appt next week and I have heard I should speak to my pregnancy consultant re an alternative to duloxotine for pain and anxiety. Anxiety is a little worse I think but using my cbt techniques- any help appreciated.
Hey @giraffelady Coming off duloxetine can be a huge hit. My sister had to come off her SSRI (can’t remember which one) when she became pregnant, but the doctor told her that fluoxetine/Prozac was a safe alternative. All went well for her and baby. Maybe have a word with your doctor or neuro if things don’t pick up. Congratulations on the baby!!! 👶😀
Hey @giraffelady, coming off of duloxotine would definitely be a factor to your symptoms rather than a reaction to your second infusion of Tysabri. Sounds like sensible advice from your MS nurse. Congratulations btw 🎉
