Greetings all. Infrequent visitor and new to the board.
Here's the synopsis:
Wife dxd in 2002, initially started on Rebif, took it for prox 2 years with no stabilization, in fact mri's were worse. Changed to Tysabri, had three injections, felt markedly better, drug was pulled.
Began Methotrexate, been on it for prox 7 years. Clear deterioration in the last 2 years, prior to that most could not tell she was sick. MD now switching her to Tysabri again. 3 month "dry out" period almost over, 1st infusion in November.
Motor skills, emotional and general health are worse now than ever. Hoping Tysabri is the answer.
Questions's from some of the posts I've been reading:
What is the rebound effect?
What is Bg-12?
Married 31 years. 3 kids; one in law school, one in med school and one in 8th grade.
Looking forward to hearing from and getting to know some of you.
