I wish it were that easy. Tysabri is a fairly new long term therapy. We don't really know what the long term PML results will be.

That said, I have had 13 infusions of Tysabri. I feel like I have my life back. At the same time, I am watching the latest PML developments closely. If you are considering Tysabri you should decide if you feel the risk of continued MS progreession outweighs the chance of PML. For me, it does.

Benefit vs risk.

Good luck.
