About Me
Diagnosed on July 4, 2007. Have been on and off and back on again of short-term/long-term disability. I was taking "Tysabri" for about 7 months, but started to come down with pharyngitis, ear-infections, and last but certainly not least, viral meningitis. This was from my immune-system being suppresed far too greatly by the Tysabri. My last Tysabri infusion was Oct 2nd, 2008, and I will begin back on Rebif this December. My neurologist and I agreed that the risks were outweighing the benefits, so I'm going back onto a more tried-and-true menthod for MS... wish the best for all MSers
