If The Jc Test Is Fine, Can Tyabri Cause Infections?
6 2 284lbs 37yrs old male. i have been recently diagnosed with ms by the dissemination of time and space off an mri but the lumbar puncture came back negative for ms. I ve had many infections in my life including the worst of which being when my appendix burst when i was 13 and a staph infection in my left arm while on a heparin drip in the hospital. the staph didn t spread but was difficult to get rid of through antibiotics, first vancomycin(caused my veins to get hard and the blood to clot) then bactrim(i have a mutated mthfr gene i believe contributed in the high rise of potassium in my body) I have had five pulmonary embolisms starting when i was 26(1st time) and in 2011 when the staph happened. they want me to go onto tysabri for the treatment of ms and are in the process of checking for jc virus antibodies. if my jc test is fine would tysabri be able to react other infections that might lay dormant?

HI
Well come to HCM
You really seems to have multiple disease, as far as the MS is concern there is not cure for this, whatever you take for this would exert the placebo effect and nothing else, your main query is "Tybari" and this may not cause any infection and you can try this, hope this information helps.
