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.

MS sucks. Prior to Tysabri, I was experiencing vertigo, nausea, walking difficulty, extreme dizziness. After first infusion, my vertigo subsided and dizziness was gone. After 2nd infusion balance was better. I was using a walker, and now use a cane. It has made all the difference in the quality of life.

My husband feels much better while using this medicine but we are suffering of the high price of it and it's not available in our country...

I have tried several different medications. Nothing ever worked very long. Dr. Even put me on steriods at one point every 10 days for 3 days, i am now allergic to steriods. I have had ms pretty much my whole life, first grade was my first attack drs did not have a clue what it was that was early 80s but i eventually diagnosed in 2004 with rrms. I have been taking tysabri for clise to 12 yrs now. No new lesions, no side effect that i cant handle. I am tired about a week before and then 2 days after i also get a slight headache from every month. Other than that its all good. Read More Read Less

I have had positive experiences with Tysabri. I have not had any relapses since 2014. That is when I was diagnosed. My two year mark will be July 2016. I remain cautious about PML and the JC virus popping up. Right now I am negative for both.

Loved this treatment! I became spoiled because while on Tysabri for 6 years it was like i never had MS. After having to switch due to my JCV level increase I really miss it

On it since Nov 2013 after problems with interferon B. Unfortunately I have to catch a 20 minute flight to the nearest hospital, cant drive cos there is sea in between. Otherwise relapse free ever since, just a permanent dizziness that existed before going on Tysabri. So I get the drip, catch the bus to the airport, fly home, drive home from the airport, catch an hour's sleep and off to work....

Diagnosed in 2004, Tysabri is the 4th medication I have tried. Within two days of taking my first treatment I was seeing an improvement in the way I walked. I am so excited to see what lies ahead!

I have been on this drug since 2007. Before I started I had 3-4 hospitalizations a year. While on the drug I have a had maybe one ...that is until my doctor took me of when I tested positive for the JC virus last year. Then I had two attacks in three months and developed multiple new lesions. My titer finally came back and I jumped to 1/1000 risk zone for PML. My family and my doctor "encouraged" me to start taking the drug again.

Diagnosed in 2008. Tried 2 other treatments with no success in managing symptoms. I have now been on Tysabri for almost 3 years consecutively and have had no relapses and no new lesions in my brain since beginning this treatment. Tysabri helps me live life as close to 'normal' as ever.

Started on this med 5 years ago and have had good results. No new lesions, walking much better, and overall health has improved due to less stress.

DX with MS in spine April 2000. Used and failed everything, started Tysabri 12/2006. This medication has kept me out of a wheel chair. My neurologist would like me to change to a new oral form, no way. I will continue Tysabri as long as I continue to have Negative JCVirus titers every 3 months and it continues to be available. For me, Tysabri is a life changing medication, absolutely LOVE this medication. Worth the risk.

I started taking Tysabri in November 2013. It had very good effect 2 days after my first infusion. I could move my toes again and my balance was back. I could walk better. Three weeks after my first infusion, it felt like my body had consumed most of the medicine. It felt better after the second infusion, but no great improvements. I have now had the third infusion and is still waiting for the same sensational effect as in the beginning.

My experience has been very positive.My very first IV infusion was given just before the FDA took it off the market.I had a tremendous result with that first treatment.I could move my legs and almost dance.Then it was 2 years before the FDA put it back on the market.I have now been on this med for the last 6 years. My MRI's are now showing NO increase in lesions since I started it.I have no side-effects.I am doing very well on it.I am much more mobile and getting back some of my old moves and enthusiasm.Read More Read Less
