CBo,

While in a relapse, you should expect to go downhill for a while. If it is spinal lesion attack, it often takes as much as 3 months to MOSTLY recover (6 weeks of "exceleration" and 6 weeks of "recovery").

You are not necessarily progressing with this disease, and that is the important factor!! No matter how bad my spinal lesion attacks have been (and I have been paralyzed twice), it doesn't mean that we won't get back most of your function by the time it is over. I know it doesn't feel like it at the time . . . but most times things do improve substantially.

Don't get too discouraged yet!

Cherie

(ooops, let me clarify . . . I am not on Tysabri, and those attacks were 12 yrs apart. I was just generalizing about attacks, no matter what meds we do or don't use.)
