    Preparing for 1st Tysabri document/post?

    Hi,
    For some reason, I thought that in reading a past post, someone said to make sure you read the "document or message post" related to preparing for Tysabri (first appointment).

    Is there a document or post specifically about that?

    I've heard drink lots of water and/or maybe caffeine prior to getting it.

    But if there is any sort of comprehensive compilation of advise, I'd love to read it.

    1st transfusion date: May 22.
    RRMS Dx: 3/23/15
    (Optic Neuritis Dx 2/27/15; Feb/2014 right leg numbness--at the time diagnosed as Sciatica, but probably first episode)
    Started Tysabri 5/22/15: (Infusions: 5/22/15, 6/18/15, 7/16/15)

    First infusion

    I just had my 2nd infusion on the 30th. I didn't do anything special. Some people have suggested caffenine. I just has my breakfast, milk and cereal. I was good. Took 2 hours, first hour to run Tysabri and then hour of saline. Nurse checked in to see how I was doing and saw doctor when done. All good.

    Second infusion went well too.

    Good luck and keep us up to date.
