Thanks Dej.
Thanks for the info Ru. I hope it isn't something that will delay it for too long. They really messed up though because now they might not be the first oral med on the market.

I've never mentioned it to anyone but if Jamie's MS progressed, Cladribine is what I'm most interested in of the options to be available in the near future. Her neuro in the Tovaxin clinical trial was trained by Kurtzke at Georgetown and the first thing she told us, almost seemed to be bragging, wa...

Yes Bob, I had 31 infusions and I just didn't feel good taking it with all the new PML cases cropping up here and there. Copaxone stings like heck but it works ok for me. There's been a setback with Cladribine since they somehow messed up the application with the FDA but it should still come out in ...

No more Tysabri, starting Copaxone, will wait for Cladribine
I just spoke to my MS neuro and I'll be starting Copaxone again as soon as the insurance approval comes through and they send it out to me. I did ok on it and I can take it until Cladribine is approved. It wouldn't make sense to start Tysabri again for a short time then have to take a drug holiday b...

It's been a long time since I've put much thought into it, so the exact specifics don't come to mind but, if you'll remember, calling in interested participants of past clinical trials isn't a departure from what Opexa has done in the past in earlier extension trials Dr. Wynn's advice to me was tha...

Thanks for the info TOL, but...
What are the release dates for these drugs? Did it say March for Cladribine? I couldn't tell when reading the link.

We just got home and I chose not to get my infusion today. The neuro spoke to me for about an hour. I'm going to go back in three months and talk about whether I want to go back on Tysabri, or go on something else. I'll check back in later with more details. I have another appt this afternoon and wo...

An excerpt from the linked article that Prof8 just posted: [Updated comment from Biogen Idec.] There isn’t any data that suggests imposing a drug holiday would reduce the risk of patients getting PML, but there is data that shows symptoms of multiple sclerosis return quickly once patients quit takin...

Youre not helping people that need Tysabri and know there's risk such as myself. You might not make that comment if you'd had 30 infusions and wondered each month if you're at a higher risk of PML, or if it were your child, or spouse? Think about it. Do we want to be sheep? Or make them accountable...

Someone at the Tysabri support center told me yesterday that they believe that the average for disease activity to resume is about six months. That's why I'm thinking six months for a break. That's an interesting comment from Biogen, Wiz. I wonder how they came up with 6 months vs 8 months or even ...

I get my 32nd infusion tomorrow. I'm going to ask my neuro his opinion on the risks and if he thinks they're greater than 1:1000 now. I'm also going to talk to him about taking a break. I'm 99% sure that's what I want unless he can give me a good enough reason why he thinks that's a bad idea. Like y...
