Have you tried to see if there are any patient assistance programs (PAPs) for Tysabri?
It's the only reason I'm able to be on Tecfidera. There's no way I could afford the nearly $5K a month this drug costs.
It might be in your best interest to explore what drugs have a patient assistance program. You can see if you qualify even if you have medical insurance.
Usually the drug itself has something on its website regarding patient assistance.

Good luck!
