For some reason, I can never remember the name of this one. I had to wait a couple of months for the Tysabri to fully be out of my system. Then the first infusion on this new med had to be administered the same way Tysabri was, except it took about 8 hours to complete. They have to infuse it slow just to be on the safe side and make sure my body didn't have any bad reactions which could have been fatal. Then after two weeks, I went back for a second infusion. They sped this one up a little because they said that I handled it well. After the second infusion, I don't have to go back for 6 months for the next one, which is really nice! So, I go back in September for the third. I really miss the Tysabri because I feel horrible most of the time. Its nice not having to go to the hospital every month and waste a day getting infused but to be honest, I would rather have that inconvenience than to feel the way I do.
I will find out tomorrow what the name of it is and let you know. I had to come off of Tyabri because my chances for getting PML was increasing and I also developed severe RA which is horrible! This new med I'm on is supposed to treat MS and RA at the same time, if that gives you any clue to what it is. Why are you coming off of Tysabri? I'm guessing for the same reason I had to, PML chances?
