Keri, welcome to NeuroTalk.

You are strong enough

There is a Tysabri thread at the top of the MS forum. It's a "sticky" and there are many knowledgeable people who know what the Protocol for Tysabri is but I believe you can choose to start out with Tysabri - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread37891.html

I'm not too happy about your neuros comment - There is no way to know when or if you will have another exacerbation and exacerbations can take more tham 3 months to resolve. In my opinion it's a little too soon to have a prognosis.

MS is a strange disease. You can be at your very worst with this disease and in time (it could literally be months or more than a year) start to see improvements. This is known as relapsing/remitting. That doesn't mean all of your symptoms or disabilities are gone but that your doing better than you were.

It's very possible to have many lesions with little disability or only a few lesions with more disability. There is no rhyme or reason with this disease.

Has your neuro talked to you about symptom management meds?

Vertigo - http://www.nationalmssociety.org/sit...book_dizziness

Fatigue - I know your using Provigil but here is more information about fatigue - http://www.nationalmssociety.org/sit...cebook_fatigue If your still dealing with an exacerbation that could be why your fatigue is so bad.
