hi Sheena,

I go for my first infusion on april 30th and from what i heard about the drug that the first one is always the worst. you have to think of this is a strong drug hitting your body like a ton of bricks.

remission-thats something my body hasn't done yet, thats why I am trying the tysabri

I have only had ms for not even a year and I have had three relapses. And I end up in a wheelchair with pain in my legs.My left leg goes almost paralyzed.

Remember that the drugs are not to stop ms but to slow down the disease. I know its hard to adapt but you will learn.

Make sure to always tell you neuro about your issues that you are having. Since the ms i have bad memory and so I keep a diary of how I feel everyday. Than you can see day by day how you are changing

hope that helps
