I am going for my 4th Tysabri infusion on Thursday at MS Clinic at Rush. This is my first DMD drug I have taken.
Prior to treatment I was JCV positive 1.51 tilter and am scheduled to be JCV tested again at 6 month appointment which is December.
The last 3 weeks I have been experiencing a constant headache (don't ever have headaches as a rule). I wake up with it and go to sleep with it. Had on on/off fever flu-like feeling most of last week.
I am generally not an alarmist or someone that wishes to have unnecessary and expensive testing but I am wondering if I should ask to have blood test early, if for nothing other than peace of mind. I travel 2 hrs for my appointments and would prefer to not have to go back and forth.
What would you do?
