Just kidding Legzz. It's still less than 1 in 1000 for risk of PML according to the person I spoke to on Wednesday morning at Biogen.

I told him (George) that I had lots of friends taking Tysabri, and that we had known each other for years, and that I wanted to get an update on the latest info. He put me on hold for several minutes to make sure he gave me the correct info, lol. I told him that I might consider taking a break for 5-6 months if data showed any evidence that it would benefit me. He concurred with my MS neuro that there is no known benefit of doing this.

Anyway, I think you're doing the right thing in trying Tysabri. You're young and the other meds haven't helped much. If T helps, it will be so awesome.
