I appreciate everyone's input on the subject. It's such a personal choice, like any of the DMD's. Seeing my life, my body, my mind go downhill for the last few years, I decided it was worth the risk. Someone else with the same situation could decide something completely different. I don't think trying Tysabri is any braver than those who choose to take nothing. I've been down that road, too. We each have to decide what is best for us, and knowing the risks either way is important. I know MS is taking my life away one little piece at a time and will continue to do so. With Tysabri, there is a relatively small chance of contracting PML, but in the time that I don't, I feel better than I have in years. For me, it's SO worth trying.. Just my two cents!
