Hi Rex,

It is unfortunate that we no longer have instant access to this information, but most of us here (at NT) have beat these issues to death previously on threads at OBT. I have links to it all, but the links don't work any more.

My MAIN concern, all the way through this Tysabri fiasco, has been whether the AVERAGE PwMS (not us computer/MS board savy people) are fully aware of what the potential risks are. I'm fairly confident now that the TOUCH program is ensuring that, so I'm not nearly as concerned as I used to be.

Ultimately, the conversation always seems to end up at us:

- having additional "choices"
- what "risks" we are willing to take to have another option available
- the potential for Tysabri to prove to be effective and safe for us in the long run.

It seems apparent that many people and Neuros are still continuing to proceed with caution, and given what we know/don't know at this point, I think that is prudent. However, I sincerely hope that Tysabri proves effective and safe in the long run, and I am very thankful there are people who are willing to step up to the plate to help prove it.

Cherie
