Hi Everyone,
I've been a lurker for a long time. I'm transitioning from Gilenya to Tysabri. I had a relapse, complicated by a UTI in December, and Solu Errol didn't quite do the trick.
Anyway, my neurologist and I decided I should try Tysabri. I'm JCV a negative.
I live in Israel, which has a nationalized health care system. tysabri is included in the health basket of approved medicines. It seemed like forever to get the authorization processed. But in reality it only took 10 days. I'll have my first infusion on Thursday.
Because Tysabri is in the health basket, I do not have to pay anything. As far as I know, most MS meds are in the health basket. Israel pretty much follows what FDA does, sometimes with a year's delay.
Because of everything I've read on the list, I think I know more or less what to expect. So...thank you to everyone. Now I have to hope that Tysabri does the trick, which is what we all hope.
Liz
