Comment:
Was on rebif (2-3 relapses per yr), then Copaxone(7 relapes in 8 mo). Didn't know about 6 mth period of waiting for Copaxone to kick in. Put on Tysabri, 0 relapes in 10 months so far. Works immediately, safe to use. Other than regular numbness I've always had, I feel the same I did before my MS diagnosis.

Comment:
I have been on Tysabri for 15 months. I get no side effects( as I did for 8 years on avonex) I had been hospitilized two times in three months prior to my infusions. I am not dancing in the street but I have not gotten worse. Something avonex could not do for me.

Comment:
After 2yrs I developed antibodies against Rebif. My doctor immediately started me on Tysabri. I'm on my 4th month and so far so good. My symptoms have so far remained in remission...I'm happy. The way I figure- I'm going to do whatever I can to take control of this disease.

Comment:
Extremely tired first few days after each monthly infusion. Followed by significant improvement of most aspects of my MS. Have had MS for 23 years, and Tysabri has proven to be the most effective treatment I have received thus far.
