Dear @steviilillian, Firstly, good luck with the Tysabri. I have been on it for almost 8 years and it's been great for me. I have been on infusions, which involve a two-hour stay in hospital. If you're on these, rather than injections, then I recommended taking a book or newspaper with you. Alternatively, a mobile 'phone (presumably there will be N.H.S. wifi). If you're anything like me, the time will fly by. Good luck, and best wishes, Jon
@wjgregg hey Jon! Thanks for reaching out! I was in 2 mind between subcut & infusion but ive gone with subcut. I'll be monitored for an hour after its administered for the first 6 so I shall definitely be taking a good book with me! How were you at the start of your treatment? Did you experience any adverse reactions? Did you find you tolerate it better as time goes on? I was fortunate enough to be given several options but this one ticks the most boxes. Hopefully it goes well! Thank you for your kind words!
