Keri, Hang in there. I am hoping that tysabri does help you. I know that I am walking somewhat better and feel more energy since being on tysabri.
I also wanted to tell you that I had my first and only flare/exacerbration last March and did not start feeling better for several months. IVSM did not help me either. I was dx last April. I started to feel better afterabout 3 months but it was gradual. I still have residual effects from that flare.
I have to drive about 50 miles to receive my tysabri treatments, but I do feel that it is worth it. Now I am going to have to find drivers since they will not give me the tysabri anymore without a driver due to benadryl ivs I am receiving. It will be a hassle, but I will figure it out.
I know in the first several months that I was dx all I wanted to do was sleep and cry. I had trouble making decisions, did not want to go out, or do anything. Gradually that has all improved. I hope that you see improvements too.
