tysabri users, how are your relapses?
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 7:36 pm
I was just wondering, if anyone who has begun taking the tysabri treatments, has been doing with flare ups? have you noticed that they are less frequent, more frequent, or the same?
my best friend starts hers on jan 12th. but she has started another flare up within a week and a half of the last one (that lasted 3 weeks), and she couldn't walk or speak real well, and could not eat (due to the numbess on her left side, that included her face and mouth,and throat, and her flare ups have NEVER been like this, before, she has just been numb for like a week.
so her neurologist has started her on a 3 day treatment of iv stearoids, to try and get her out of this flare up, she is really discouraged, and is looking forward to not having another episode of this proportion while on the tysabri.....
can anyone help in this department?
