Hi

My name is Aoife and I was diagnosed 8 months ago at 15. I've been on
Tysabri for 7 months and it has been really great. I have very active
MS - I had 3 relapses in 4 months before diagnosis - but I haven't had
any relapses and only mild symptoms since I was on the Tysabri,
although I have had some bladder symptoms recently. I've also had some
vertigo but I think this is because I was doing yoga and stupidly did a
handstand :)

I had some reservations about Tysabri because of PML, which is a
possible side-effect of Tysabri. It's a dangerous disease which can be
life-threatening : however, the chances of getting it are extremely
slim and if you start Tysabri treatment you will be fully informed
about PML and its symptoms - if they catch it early it's very treatable.

I hope this helps. My experience of Tysabri has been extremely positive.
