How does one take steps to avoid it (besides no icing)?

Forgot to ask one more question.

How long is the protocol supposed to be? And is there a weaning off or some follow up treatment schedule too?

Can someone please post the exact regimen they are on? Including dosages, times of day it's taken, supplements taken, how much, and times of day? I'm having a hard time finding the info from the many posts here. Are people taking: 500 mg amoxicillin 100 mg(?) zithromax 300 mg rifampin All of these T...

Hi Bebe This is a part of the article that is referring to the interferons: "The research revealed that the other three treatments increased the chances of contracting other forms of cancer. The findings are substantial enough to indicate the need for further research." So what it seems to...

Thanks Aaron, I guess I'm just suspicious why they haven't released any results on impact on disease progression or EDSS (or have they and I missed it?), well, whatever they said they're withholding until the 2 year data is released. I don't expect T to improve EDSS scores, but I'd like to see a dif...

So the 1 year data does not mention any deaths though? Does this mean that there weren't any in the first year? So even if people were being infused now before we get our hands on the 2nd year data, we at least know that we'll have that data before any of US hit our 2nd year on the drug, so we can s...

Any more information on this?

Thanks.

And no one died from the ABCR's, did they? I heard a couple people needed liver transplants, but did anyone die?

So if people died in the other trials and they were shut down, why wasn't Tysabri shut down and why is it released to the public?

Isn't there a way for them to do a mini-test (not the whole iV drip) to see if a person has an anaphalactic reaction before they infuse the whole thing and risk a crisis?
