And now Biogen and Elan are spending millions of dollars on new ways of detecting PML!
Harry,

God bless you but I have to disagree with you. I thank God for Tysabri because I feel so good since being on it.

I'm thankful that it's available in the US and that we have good health insurance (though very expensive) and I can have the infusions.

I'm also glad they're looking for better ways to detect PML. I don't know what more they can be doing. They're keeping an awesome drug on the market IMO for those who need it, and taking steps to avoid the worst of all side effects (PML).

We need naysayers to keep things in balance so I don't fault you or Cherie or others for questioning Tysabri or other drugs. Matter of fact, I used to be in agreement with you. But now that I've been on Tysabri for almost two years, I have to agree with those who were singing its praises for so long since I feel so much better and my life has improved.
