You know, Harry, it isn't just some "MS docs" who'd hesitate to prescribe an under-tested, fresh off the drawing board new medication, especially if the issue isn't one of imminent life-or-death.HarryZ wrote:Better.
The common point in many of these articles on Tysabri seems to be that no danger was seen with the drug in the one year trial data. But some MS docs have stated that one year data simply wasn't enough to properly determine a reliable safety level.
And now Biogen is paying the price for that.

Deb, you're right. If I could design my own ideal doctor, it'd definitely be her.OddDuck wrote:Hi, flora!
Sounds like you know an imminently wise and wonderful physician, in my humble opinion!
Deb
I'm deeply grateful for my dear sweet family doc (who's also my boss and longtime best friend), and I'm very happy that she has no plans to ever move away, and neither do I. But I'd follow if I could...HarryZ wrote:Flora,
Don't let that doc of yours out of your sight...ever!! You are fortunate to have someone with those kind of credentials.
Yes, I suppose I should have included general physicians in my message because they are a Godsend for many MS patients. Marg had such a doc in Toronto a few years ago when we lived there. She was the one who prescribed Prokarin for Marg and helped her get out of a terrible rut that she was in with her MS. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find someone like that here in London, ON.
