My doctor took me off Rebif in October after yet another relapse. Tysabri came up in the conversation, he sent me to an MS Specialist for a second opinion on treatment options. I cannot express how impressed I was with my Neuro for doing this. The Specialist has also agreed that Tysabri is my best option. I am JC-, yay, now I am waiting for funding.
This drug scares me. Period. So does the lesion pressing up against the brain stem. Right now, I'm legally blind, I have a walk-aid, but my biggest concern is the esophageal dysphasia and the gastroparesis. Will this effect absorption of the medication? There has been significant weight loss.
Any replies or advice is greatly appreciated.
