For Multiple Sclerosis "I love Tysabri! Having been on it a year and a half, it's a lot better than Avonex. No more flu-like symptoms! I just hate having to sit for an extra hour or so to be monitored. I recommend this when all else fails."

For Multiple Sclerosis "After being diagnosed with MS, I started on Rebif injections, which I continued with for a year and a half. I spent six days of the week with flu-like symptoms. To be on Rebif, I had to stop taking warfarin, which I need to help with another condition. 7.5 years ago, I was switched to Tysabri so I could once again take warfarin at the same time. That was the best thing that happened. I'm no longer feeling dreadful for the majority of the week and, in fact, suffer no symptoms. I'm fortunate that I'm JC negative and that the government here covers the cost of my infusions, and best of all, had no flare-ups since I started on Tysabri."
