Allergic Reaction
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 10:54 pm
Hi,
My wife had her (10th I think) infusion today and had a slight allergic reaction immediately after the infusion - red welt on chin and hayfever eyes. Calmed down quickly with anti-histamine and neurologist seemed quite relaxed. (Note apart from this my wife has found tysabri to be great - no relapses, energy back etc).
Does anyone know if an allergic reaction is indicative of antibodies or ? Just not sure if its something to be concerned about in that respect or not...I think they will give her an antihistamine next time before infusion (she takes nothing at all up till now).
Cheers
