Reaction to Ty

[22cyclist]

Hi everybody: I have been on Ty for 2 and 1/2 years. My usual reaction to Ty is dizziness so they run the infusion over 2 hours. Sometimes I get itching after so I just take Benadryl. Yesterday after, and I mean right after while the saline was running in, I got chest pain. Still have it this morning. Benadryl helps a little. Anybody have this reaction. Biogen lists it as a common side effect (not serious).

Just wondering and what you do about it.

Thanks
Lisa

I had a tightness in my chest at infusion 4-6 as the Tysabri was going in. I knew it wasn't normal, but it didn't last long, maybe 10 minutes, and I just got through it. However, it has never happened since.
