I had my seventh Ty infusion when the news came out. I'm not too concerned since I've placed this into the Lord's hands. I also did some research and found that one the the patients in Europe had taken a medication prior to Tysabri that lowers the immune system. I can't think of the name right now but it is commonly given to leukemia patients after they receive a transfusion to help lower their chances of rejection to the new bone marrow. Just as the cases during the trial there is something in the background where the patient's immune system was compromised.<BR/><BR/>I also have benefited greatly from Ty. I have three children and with any medication there will always be some kind of risk or nasty side effects. I have accepted that in the 16+ years living with MS and have been careful about what I take. If something did happen, I just want my children to remember me happy, enjoying life and serving the Lord. That's the legacy I want to leave. Before Ty, I was giving myself daily shots of Copaxone and monthly infusion of Solumedrol. Years tole of the steroids made me depressed, tired and a big grouch.<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to share with you that there are others out here walking in the same shoes. I can't imagine going through this without having the hope and comfort that only our Lord Jesus Christ can provide.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103099895883101147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2223880371434935062.post-51227747376928927132008-08-12T10:25:00.000-06:002008-08-12T10:25:00.000-06:00scary news - I will hold you in prayerscary news - I will hold you in prayerPastor Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379261505619447831noreply@blogger.com
