Just wondering if anyone else have noticed an increase in their rate of flares, symptoms, or disease activity after having a good long remission on Tysabri?
I think this concern was triggered by my recent flare. It was the first since starting Tysabri, and mild when compared to my previous flares, but makes me worry anyway.
Thanks for any related experiences! I hope I put this in the right spot, was gonna start a thread about it but saw the Tysabri sticky...

Hi Katt and welcome to NeuroTalk!
I haven't had a relapse or flare since I started. I can't give any advice as to that, I still feel good.
I do know that even with Tysabri you still have relapses. They are less frequent and milder for most people. Everyone is different. You should talk to your neuro and if you ARE relapsing, a dose of steroids may help. You CAN have steroids, just not long term steroid therapy, such as pulse therapy.
Please come back and let us know how you are doing, ok? I hope things improve for you!
