PostForum: Tysabri (Antegren or Natalizumab)   Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 1:40 pm   Subject: Harry, quit backpeddling about conflicts of interest.

Harry,

The conflicted and biased research study you refered to was ORIGINALLY and COINCIDENTALLY presented just prior to the Tysabri FDA AC meeting in March. It's old F.U.D which I think was spons ...

First of all, a clinically diagnosed, treatment naive MSer has too many infiltrating or cascading WBCs in their CSF. An AIDs patient has a severely degraded immune system and poor immune suveillance i ...

If a therapy or med is working for that patient it's all well and good. Too bad way too many of us veterans can't get that satisfaction. I am in a well connected and informed group of MSers who will g ...

I quit Betaseron in Oct2004 after almost 10 years of therapy in preparation to go on Tysabri earlier this year. Oddly enough, an exacerbation that had appearred in mid 2004 followed by more relapses l ...

MS patients didn't hear about PML until Tysabri came along. This drug is a powerful, immune system altering medication and it needs a lot more study done on it....far more than Biogen/Elan gave it pri ...

Harry, nice one. I wasn't trying to convince you of something you already knew. I was trying to tell you something new. I reworded my previous question into a statement. Now read it again and tell me ...
