stopping tysabri

[torikat32]

Hey everyone went to my neuro today we are stopping tysabri due to liver enzymes elevated for last 3 months. Went to a GI specialist to rule any liver problems out and after all sorts of testing seems like tysabri is the likley cause.

I will start tecfidera in 3 months I hope I dont have the rebound effect I have heard about after stopping tysabri. Tysabri has really changed the way I feel was using a walker now nothing and I do Zumba too. I hope I stay like this but having doubts.

anyone using tecfidera? How was your experience.?

thanks

Hi Kat-

I stopped Tysabri following my 20th infusion, June 29 f this year. I have not been on any DMD since and have experienced absolutely zero rebound effect.

I was going to stop because I converted to JCV +, but actually stopped because Tysabri didn't seem to be getting the job done. This took Tecfidera off the able, so I can't help there. I'm going to start Rituxan next Friday.
