Almost 3 years on Tysabri!

Hello Everyone,

Well I made it!! I will have been on Tysabri for 3 years in March and I have to report ZERO issues!! I have not had one attack and i have been doing great! I do worry sometimes about PML and any other long term affects that they don't know about yet...But I feel pretty good and it has been so great to be happy and healthy for my family. A little bit for you that don't know me from my other blog...I am now 25 year old Mother I have a 7 year old son and a great almost husband :0) He has been here through this entire nightmare with me from the day I was dx to today and I know that he will never runaway from MS or me....We want to fight it together and if it wasnt for him I would have stopped fighting a long time ago...So I was dx 2004 and before I started Tysabri I took Rebif, Copaxone and both didnt work for me...I currently have 42 leissons and for sure I had 39 of them before Tysabri...But I could have got the 3 more during months Jan-March when I went on the Tysabri!!! So besides the dreaded fatiuge I am doing great!! I hope anyone out there who has a doctor that is not listening to you when you say that your current therapy is not working that you go and see another dr I am so lucky to have the dr that I do as he more that listens to me...He is so proactive that I have had no worries!! Well WISHING EVERYONE GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD LUCK!!! I will check back in later XOXOXO Brooke
