For Multiple Sclerosis "I failed Copaxone and then Avonex therapy. I started Tysabri in March of 2010. Some improvement in my disability. The only side effect that I get is a two-day migraine post-infusion. Otherwise, I do NOT miss the shots and flu symptoms. I actually look forward to the 2-hour nap during and after infusion! I recommend this medicine to those that fail on the other ABCs!"

For Multiple Sclerosis "I've had monthly Tysabri infusions and have been in remission for 9 years. I've had MS for 34 years. I became JCV positive and then converted back to negative. The only side effect has been some migraines and UTIs. It has been a miracle for me. I walk with a walker and use a power scooter for long distances."

For Multiple Sclerosis "I've only had 2 infusions of Tysabri so far. My Dr. is planning on keeping me on the drug for 12 months. So far, the side effects are minimal: a migraine headache and extremely tired. BUT those I can certainly live with. Within 1 day after infusion, they are gone. This drug so far is much better. I seem to be feeling better both mentally and physically. I wish this drug was the first drug that I would have been given 13 years ago -- maybe then I would not have been classified disabled and still be able to work."
