I have had MD for 18 years. Been on Avonex, Betaseron, Tysabri, and now Tecfidera. Unfortunately, I'm also on lots of other medications, mostly due to terrible central pain. My neurologist made me stop the Tysabri after 24 infusions because of safety concerns. I felt my overall best while on Tysabri and have asked him if and when I might be able to go back on the monthly infusions. He does not have an answer for me at this point. Has anyone out there ever gone back on Tysabri after taking a "holiday" from it in order to clear your body? My doctor did say that he thought that possibly some studies were being done because enough patients have reported an overall feeling of "well being" while on Tysabri. Any news would be appreciated. Also, does anyone report increased fatigue while on Tecfidera? I am over all of the flushing and gastro upset. Just very fatigued - way more than ever before. I am taking Nuvigil and could not make it through the day without it! Be well and try to stay positive everyone. Mary
My neuro told me it takes 3 months to clear your system of Tysabri, hope that helps,
