If your quality of life is greatly diminished then switching medications is completely justified. I just started Tysabri today after deliberating for quite some time. I'm fully aware of the problems and benefits related to the drug. I am willing to take the risks involved.

There are a few key points with your experience though joellelee.
1. You had serious
adverse reactions
2. You tried different two drugs
3. You deliberated and became fully aware of the problems and benefits related to Tysabri, before making the decision.
If you can't take the other drugs, and you are fully informed about Tysabri, it sounds like an informed and good course of action for you.
That is not the case with Keri though.
