I took my lifetime supply of Novantrone by infusions and my doctor feels I've levelled off. That being said, I still have the same mobility problems I had before, just not worse. I'm really hoping to be approved for tysabri, my doctor seems to think it's worth a try, possibly getting some of my func...

iI was told by my nuro that it is about $2000 an infusion. Has anyone heard if there is any improvement with this drug( by means of better functioning)? I'm wondering if it's worth the risks and expence.

I took my lifetime dosage of Novantrone and stopped about a year ago. My doctor(neurologist) says he thinks my progression has stopped. I'm trying to get natalizumab approved to see if it will help my function. He believes it may help with the swelling in my plaques. I'll post my results after I've ...

Hi! I,m a new member. I've had MS for about 17 years. I'm not able to walk without the use of a walker for short distances or my scooter for longer ones. Question, Has anyone been on Tysalri and found any improvements in their mobility? My Dr is trying to get me approved for it.
