Some of my updates are on this post. I go for infusion # 12 the 27th of this month. No problems, no concerns, no side effects, just an EXCELLENT 6 month MRI and vision test!

When you said that you went in front of the FDA to testify - it was to have Tys re-released, right?
I personally did not travel to testify at the FDA hearings when Tysabri was returned to market. My comments were mailed along with hundreds of others from MS patients all over the USA. My personal involvement continues to be behind the scenes. Av8rgirl testified in person at the hearing and she continues to advocate for Tysabri users at the government level. She can fill you in more on her unique situation.
