Tysabri.
All I got from Tysabri is this blue fleece throw blanket.
I received this in the mail after I signed up to take Tysabri.
But when I was there in the infusion room, I had forgotten to request that I lay down fully:
I had something called Vaso-vagal, where my blood pressure would drop and I would pass out (and have a little seizure even) upon any kind of needle play.
But it wasn't the needle I was afraid of this time. It was Tysabri and the possibility of PML.
It turned out that the IV was not yet connected to a bag of Tysabri, anyway. After that little episode, the nurse and a phone call to my neuro, it was decided to abort mission.
I wonder now, for the first time, if I had taken the drug… I might still be walking today.
In any case, I have this blue fleece throw blanket and I use it on a daily basis.
