Hello to the aviators out there!
Anybody know which of the DMD's you can be on and get your medical approved? I know from experience that Tysabri is approved, and that Gilenya is not currently (or wasn't as of December 2013). My husband was on Tysabri when he got his special issuance medical. His doctor wanted to take him off Tysabri, and did so. He went on Gilenya and after the long, drawn out process of testing and letters, and waiting and more letters, they told him it isn't approved. Now he's faced with a decision of going back on Tysabri (he's JC positive) or jumping through the hoops of trying to see if any others are approved. We suspect Copaxone to be approved, but I'm really curious if either of the other oral meds are approved.
Anybody receive SI first class medical while on Tecfidera or Aubagio?
