Well that's what I call it! At the hospital right now getting my monthly Tysabri infusion. Worked out this morning which was good, b/c when I get home I usually crash for the rest of he day. Just curious, Anyone else on tysabri?

Nope, but one injection a month sure sounds better than daily!0

OMG - you have no idea. I was on 1 every other day w/ BetaSeron. This is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better. And the side effects are basically nill which I absolutely love!0

I have been on Tysabri since July of 2009 & I love it! Depite the fact I was terrified to try it the only side effect I get is a headache the day of the infusion(nothing so bad motrin can't handle) but after being on Copaxone, Rebif & Aveonex this is like heaven. I was also thankful that they dicovered the antibody test so that I can continue my treatment & for the last 2 & 1/2 yrs no new lesions yay!0

How long does it take for the injection?0
-
For me - the entire process takes 3hrs.
1 hr is check in and wait for the meds to arrive (nurses orders the meds, normally arrives in about 30-40 mins)
1 hr for the actual infusion
1 hr after the infusion for observation.
I just bring my XOOM and watch some movies.
I feel better than I have felt in years.0 -

That is great news! The only downside is that it kills the rest of the day for me. For somereason my body is just exhausted when I get home. I usually lay down in bed and don't wake back up until morning. But I wake up with no issues at all and feel great from a 15 hr sleep!0
