hello, I was wondering if anyone may have switched from Tysabri infusions to injections (in the stomach area) and how they reacted to it? I was diagnosed with MS when I was 16 and had the Tysabri infusions. They weren't that bad and thankfully not very painful, but it just took VERY long. I recently turned 18 and they offered to administer the same treatment but in a different form (an injection through the stomach area), and it would be 10x quicker than the infusion, so truthfully I was quite excited! But then came the day and oh my GOD. It was SO painful it genuinely shocked me. I wasn't expecting it to hurt so much, genuinely the worst pain I think I've ever felt. The injection happened on two sides of my stomach, so I had the first one which hurt so much. I can't even describe how overwhelming and scary and painful it was. I was crying so much and I thought gosh if I'm screaming about how much it hurts why isn't the nurse taking the damn thing out, because I thought she could, and that just worsened it. The second injection came, not any better. I was so surprised by how much it hurt but also really disappointed, to be honest. The nurses say only a few people have gone back to the infusion but some do find it painful. I just wish I didn't find it so painful. The nurses say it might be because I don't have much fat around my stomach but I'm sure many other of their patients don't as well but still react okay to it. I don't mind going back to the infusion if it means it does not hurt so much but it would be nice if it didn't take ages. The nurses kindly asked if I wanted to try it again, and I said yes, maybe it won't hurt as much next time but honestly the thought of it just scares me so much as well. I was wondering if anyone else has this kind of pain with the injections and if they have had the chance to minimise it in any way?
