No to one up you, but my Tysabri cost is $9559.45 with an infusion fee (charges for actual infusion) of $659.00. My total monthly bill is $10,218.45. I have a good insurance plan, so overall for a y ...

Just some background. Diagnosed Nov 06, sensory issues, on copaxone Nov 06 to May 07. Second MRI in May showed that some of my leisons had cleared, but just as many had appeared. Although I had no ...

Had my second infusion on the 11th. Went off without a hitch. My only side effect is a headache about an hour after the infusion which can be treated with Tylenol. The next day I don't even have a ...

Just my experience, but after 6 months on Copaxone (the only drug I have taken) I have started Tysabri at the urging of my MS Specialist.

I am strangely not all that concerned about PML (which is crazy for me, because I am a worry wart). I hadn't taken anything but Copaxone, and they were more concerned about the interferon/Tysabri mix ...

I don't know that the Drug will change my MRI, but I was diagnosed early, and have luckily not suffered a severe attack. It just seems to me that I should be doing something to try to treat the disea ...

I finally got to see a Specialist (only a 4 month wait) and she was great. After viewing my MRI (I had over 25 leisions in my brain area), she was concerned that I was being treated solely with Copax ...

I thought it was strange to go on steroids as well, considering right now I have no symptoms, but I think the active leisions have her concerned. I was happy to hear her order the second MRI which wi ...

Thanks for your reply - I misspoke she said "oral immunosupressent" not inhibitor (I'm glad I brought a pad and pen).....

Yesterday I had my first appointment with an MS Specialist. The neurologist I was originally sent to was less than knowledgeable about MS, so it was necessary.

The original neurologist (11/06) sug ...

Thank you for all of your replies. These are things I haven't even thought about.....

The day is finally approaching when I will have an appointment with an actual MS Specialist. I have my Medical records, my MRI films, my log of symptoms, and meds. I have many questions (most of whi ...

Thanks. I am staying active (chasing my 2 1/2 year old), and eating right, taking vitamins etc... I have been on Copaxone since 10 days post diagnosis, so hopefully I'm on the right track....
