I have had extreme pain in my legs, numbness in arms/hands/legs, spasticity (this is new never had it before), memory loss, vertigo, insomnia, and depression.

Am I the only one who has relapsed while being on Ty? I go see a new neuro on Wed and I hope he can spread some light.

I also quit working in March and am filing for LTD and SSDI. UGH! This seems like a great board!
Hi Crystal and welcome!!

I'm sorry to hear you are having a relapse. It must be even harder to deal with after such a long period without any!

Despite my success with Tysabri, I still keep in mind that relapses do occur on every DMD, including Tysabri. You are not the only one who has had a relapse while on Tysabri. The reports are usually that the relapses are of a shorter duration, but not always, and it sounds like you are in the "not always" category.

Having an MRI may help you and your neuro decide to where to go from here. I hope that whatever you decide that you get some relief soon. Please update and let us know how you are doing!
