Welcome to NT…part of knowing what is causing your symptoms empowers you as a patient-at least you know what to look for, and what treatments will lessen the symptoms. Some people wait years for a dx…

Tysabri is a very strong drug…and there are many new drugs for MS approved that might not have the threat of PML that Tysabri does. You might want to do some research on treatment options to see if this is the best fit for you.

Depression is a symptom of MS, but the limitations it places on our lives can make us feel depressed as well. Have you tried antidepressants to help you?

I look at life as a load of lemons we're given; some are given enough to make a glass of lemonade; others are given enough lemons to provide lemonade for a professional baseball game. Sometimes I sit amongst the lemons and sob; other times I grab my sugar and water and get to work making lemonade out of all those lemons.

I hope tat as you travel the road that MS has brought you on, you learn that there are moments that aren't all bad. We are a group that has lots of info. experience, laughs and hugs.

Keep us up to date on how you're doing, and how your treatment plans come along
