Great response, Snoopy.

Sheena, you have 5 other choices, according to your doctor. Tysabri was chosen because it is "theoretically" more aggressive, but these drugs work differently on each of us. Even though Tysabri works for more people, or if it reduces more relapses (on the average person), that does not mean it is going to work on any one individual AT ALL.

You were sick when you had your first T infusion, and you are probably still recovering from that sickness. Also, it sometimes takes 4 - 6 months for people to see improvements of any kind. If you are not having an adverse reaction (which it doesn't seem you are), then you probably just have to bide your time to see how this medication pans out in the long run. However, you have 5 options left, IF Tysabri doesn't work . . . just like the rest of us (at least those that can even use these meds at all).

Don't worry.
