I was wondering who all out there is taking Tysabri and they are JC Virus + and has taken prior immunosuppressants? I am both and my Dr. wants me to start Tysabri, but only until BG-12 comes out. My MS is very active (relapses every 3 months) and I've tried every other drug out there for MS besides Gilenya. I was wondering if anyone else has been brave and done what I'm about to do? I'm sooooo scared, but I know I need to do something to get better.

I am JCV + and just today committed to starting Tysabri only until BG12 is available...I have not used any immunosuppressants.
Based on the data provided to me JCV+ plus immunosuppressants puts the PML risk at 1 in 833 in months 1 - 24...1 in 128 in months 25-48.Angela Dx RRMS 7/2001; Copaxone 9/2001
