Ursula, [/size] So who are you? The official spokesman of Biogen Idec in every MS forum? For your information, I am a MS patient that has had MS for 32 plus years. I am 100% disabled and can no longer work. I am not an official spokesperson for any pharmaceutical company. I've been studying Tysabri...

Harry, I still don't see where you admit you were wrong when you misstated the following: [/size] First Biogen told us that it was only MS patients who had taken combo drugs that were effected by PML after using Tysabri.

Biogen are claiming that Tysabri increases the probability of achieving sustained improvement in physical disability over two years when in fact they only included people who had an EDSS score of 2.0 that really have no physical disability to start with.

Thank ...

I stand corrected, as indeed it is used off label. [/size] As for the instances of PML seen in Rituxan, the ...
