Tysabri
Hi this is my first post. Excuse me if I waffle! I was diagnosed in 2012 with rrms. I've had 3 different dmds. In September I was signed off work for 6 weeks. With what I now think was a stress related relapse. My first real severe relapse. Any way saw my Neuro in October who wants to change me from gileyna to tysabri. I had the nightmare repeat mri in Friday. Just looking for people thoughts on tysabri . I am changing back to a job that's less driving and a bit less pressured. TIA
Were you tested for jcv? What did the test show? Years ago with active ms tysabri was one of the few choices available. Today if you are jcv negative it is a very effective drug that you should strongly consider. If you are positive you are probably better off with ocrevus, mavenclad or Lemtrada. You risk of pml is also higher because you have had likely other immunosuppression from the other dmts.
Hi I was tested for jcv when they looked at tysabri about 3 years ago. Thank you @calaforniadreamin will chase up getting retested.
