Wall of Hope

'Wall of Hope', Walk MS, San Diego April 2013

I intend to fight

Dear Tysabri

Thanks for no new lesions! 

Thanks for nothing. No, I mean it. Thanks for the last 12 infusions without incident. Well, except for the heart palpitation that one night. Meh. Thanks for the latest MRI scan which revealed no new lesions! And thanks for no relapses this past year! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to make new friends in the infusion room. Thanks for working so well in treating my MS.

Muchas Gracias!

P.S. Weird, I know, to write a thank you note to a drug. I’d be remiss if I didn’t recognize the fact that not everyone can take the big T. Either because of a positive test result for the JC Anti Virus or simply because it is soOoOoO expensive/overpriced. If you are able to go with Tysabri, be sure to inquire about their financial services through Active Access.  

P.P.S. If you’d like to read about how I made the decision to go with Tysabri, check out this post. I was presented with four drugs when a new lesion appeared last year and it was not easy to sort through everything!
