The Tysabri label states in part: "TYSABRI® is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis to delay the accumulation of physical disability and reduce the frequency of clinical exacerbations."
It doesn't always hold true, Lauren, There may be no lesions on MRI, with many symptoms and great disability, and then there may be many lesions with no disability.

But, if Tysabri does lower the risk of exacerbations, that has to be a good thing. It does have a (what did XO say) 10% better efficacy rate at reducing exacerbations, than the CRABS.

The Jury's still out on it being better than fried rice, though, since, just like the crabs, the majority of PWMS will not respond favorably to Tysabri.

Good luck and Best Wishes,

Am I close on that, XO?
