Treatment waiting time.

Hello. I’m newly diagnosed with RRMS. I have been seen by MS consultant a week ago who recommends I should probably start my treatment with Tysabri. I am just curious how long does it take to begin the treatment after you had a consultation? (I’m based in UK)

Treatment uk NHS, older people

For those on treatment…

How many of you live in the US? My insurance doesn’t cover any DMTs… anyone have insurance with good coverage? For now I’m just going without treatment.

Tysabri- time between each treatment?

How long should you have between Tysabri infusions or injections and why? Is there any benefit to having them 4-5 weeks apart compared to 6 weeks apart? I feel better with a shorter time in between than longer. It might be nothing to do with Tysabri but just wondering
