I've been on Tysabri for 3 years. No side effects. It's doing its job... But I'm supposed to go for an MRI every year. I hate MRI's. Actually I hate any appointment since I don't drive (anymore) so everything is a hassle. But I really don't like MRI's so I always push them off as far as I can get away with.
Last month I saw my neuro (it's been 2 years since my last MRI). I said to him, I can tell nothing's changed so why bother with a MRI? He said the Tysabri can have other affects on your brain that you're not seeing so it's important to have the MRI. OK... I'll go. Anyone know what he's talking about?
I figured I'll go but now I think (not positive yet will be soon) that I have breast cancer. Lucky me (not). When it rains it pours. So I want to push off this MRI till this cancer is cleared up but I don't want something going on in my brain meanwhile.
Anyone know about the importance of an MRI while on tysabri?
