For Multiple Sclerosis "I have been taking Tysabri for a decade and it has been a Godsend!!! My MRIs have shown improvement and the only side effect is that I become tired, an hour after the infusion, and stay low energy for the rest of that night. The next day, though, I'm full of energy, steady on my feet and in a great mood! The week, before infusion, I start losing balance again, but that's the whole of it... until this month, when I tested JCV positive for the first time. I hope and pray that my doctor and I can find something that is equally effective and does not pose the same PML risk for JCV+ patients!!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "I was on tysabri for 7 months.... I think, at first I would be extremely agitated, tired and weak, by around month 4 I started getting pain in the top of my right hip have never experienced pain so unbelievably intense, if it was even just slightly touched I would drop to the ground in utter agony, I began to slur my words and became emotionally unstable. Tysabri seems to give me a much larger amount of MS which is annoying because they told me it had the least side effects and was by far the most effective. Glad to hear it helps other sufferers though . It's under PBS in Australia so they would only sting me for $37.50 a treatment."
