Tysabri has given me much improved quality of life. I have had relapsing remitting MS since 2003. Tysabri involves a trip to the hospital for an infusion every 28 days.

Tysabri has given me much improved quality of life. I have had relapsing remitting MS since 2003. Tysabri involves a trip to the hospital for an infusion every 28 days. It is a very supportive environment to discus symptoms with other patients and concerns with the support nursing staff. My tolerance for heat has greatly improved. I still live and sleep in aircon, but I am no longer drained a sick after an hour in temperatures above 33C. I can actually go for a long walk on a hot day. At first after taking Tysabri I was always quite scattered for a day or two afterwards. Two years on, I am often able to work on the same day that I have the Tysabri infusion. I have also found Tysabri helps me manage fatigue better. I have been able to return to the gym and work out for around 1hour x 5 times a week. I have not experienced nausea or dizziness. I did develop heart palpitations and shortness of breath while having my first few infusions, but this coincided with the development of a misfiring nerve in my heart for which I had a heart ablation operation. I have had increased sensitivity to light since having taken Tysabri. I found I had the JC virus which means I will have to seriously consider if I can continue with this medication long term. But there is nothing on the market that will give that same quality of life I receive by taking Tysabri.

Well, I went from Copaxone to Tysabri, as I felt the Copaxone was not doing a thing for me. I had my first infusion last Friday and aside from not being able to find a vein in my hand at first, the process goes smooth and you can use it as a time to relax, as you're there for a little over 2 hours, one hour for the infusion and one hour for them to monitor you.

Well, I went from Copaxone to Tysabri, as I felt the Copaxone was not doing a thing for me. I had my first infusion last Friday and aside from not being able to find a vein in my hand at first, the process goes smooth and you can use it as a time to relax, as you're there for a little over 2 hours, one hour for the infusion and one hour for them to monitor you. I was a little nervous at first, but once the IV was in and the medicine was administered, I just read my NOOK and the hours went by pretty quick. I was only a little tired afterwards, but I've been more fatigued without treatment and I felt pretty normal the rest of the day, though I did take it easy. The rest of the weekend I felt fine as well. I notice, even after my first infusion, that I have a little more energy and the spasticity in my leg doesn't seem as bad. Psychological? I don't know. But whatever is causing it, I won't question it and will enjoy feeling well. I'm only on this a short time until BG-12 comes out due to the fact I am JC positive, but until then, I hope I continue to see results as this is the most effective medication out there to date.
