Sorry for the long post - thought some may appreciate the update on PML #5 patient from her husband who should be sainted as he's just gone through this PML experience, setting up/preparing for her rehabilitation, dealing with uncovered medical expenses, and he's worried about making sure other MS patients on Tysabri receive proper preventative measures. My important takeaway is that she had new symptoms which she wrote off as MS. TYsabri patients need to be cognizant of new sypmtoms and suspect PML first until confirmed as just new MS symptoms.

"Hello all,
Since the 15th of Apr., the 6 th case of pml - after 31 months - is listed in the Ty-update.
Again, ex-USA, and I bet , again a case in Germany..
Next week I shall clarify this.
If this is the case - then we would have 4 pml cases out of 6 being from Germany.
People, that is no coincidence, like they want to make us believe.
The federal committee has issued a drug policy with reference to Ty, in mid Oct 2008.
