I'm interested in the wash out period too or more over this in the chance of PML after the last infusion. I've stopped Tysabri three months ago definitiely after six years and started with BG-12 last month. I'm on LDN since about a year. No progression so far but I'm still pretty worried.

Hi Mikro,

I had 50+ Tysabri infusions and went off it last September. I had IV steroids in December and started Gilenya in March.

Interesting, I read from most who went off Tysabri that they had steriods right afterwards but my neuro didn't tell me about this (I feel neglected).
