buckleybetsI have taken tysabri for 4 months. Each time I take the infusion I feel like I have been hit by a mack truck and I can not walk at all! I can usually walk free of a can but a bit wobbly. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi!
I have been on Tysabri for 3 years. My experience with this drug is that I feel "withdrawals" as I approach my next infusion. The drug itself is apparently doing what it is supposed to. I do not expect renewed energy nor improvement of symptoms.
Each person is, just like MS itself, affected differently.
Keep your prescribing doctor informed of your "reactions and/or lack-thereof" to ensure that you are receiving the best care possible.
Remember that the main goal of any DMT is to slow down the progression of MS.
Best wishes!
