Hi everyone. My JCV antibody index was 0.48, but the test was done last summer, about a year ago. I didn’t start Tysabri then and was on Avonex for about 8 months. Now I’m switching to Tysabri after a new MRI.Did anyone have to repeat their JCV test before their first Tysabri infusion if the previous result was around a year old? Or did your neurologist use the older result and repeat it later?I’m wondering whether I should ask to repeat the JCV test before starting Tysabri. I’d love to hear about your experiences.

I have a neurogenic bladder so experience urgency + frequency of urin

Has anyone gained experience with lions mane as a tincture? For cognitive help and energy? I enjoy the mushroom coffee but it’s so expensive, just saw this alternative and wondered if there was any real experience. I don’t trust marketing lol

Hi, I'm fairly new to the community. I was diagnosed with MS in 2001. I've tried several "old school" treatments such as Copaxone, Betaseron and Rebif. I went off all meds around 2015 because I got tired of feeling the flu like symptoms. I suffered a pretty bad exacerbation in 2016 where I was hospitalized for 7 days while I completed steroid infusions. My MRI at that time showed new scars, one of which was on my cervical spine. The steroids did me well for several years. I didn't have any new symptoms until 2023. I've had several MRI's since, all of which show no new scars. My neurologist has refused to treat me with steroids because I don't have new scars. I told him I was open to infusion therapy and we decided on Rituximab. I will be starting my first infusion on Monday, July 20th. Does anyone have experience with this particular medication? If so, has it improved your symptoms and what can I expect as far as any side effects? Thank you in advance for any feedback.😊
