It's Not As Simple As PML

Background:

Case study of a young woman with significant treatment anxiety/resistance around deciding to go on Tysabri, which was interesting because she was well informed, JCv negative and was willing to go on anything else, even wanted to try IV cladribine before Nataluzimab(which of course is not indicated but she has researched it). Has been on Rebif, Copaxone, Movectro and Gilenya. Also explores some of the strategies and nursing interventions used to help her with this anxiety about her treatment decision.

Previously a lot of treatment anxiety we have dealt with as Multiple Sclerosis Specialist Nurses has been injection/needle phobia, so it was interesting to deal with this patient and the treatment anxiety that she experienced.

Objectives: Share this case and strategies for helping with the concerns that are present with our more effective treatments.
