"I was on tysabri for 7 months.... I think, at first I would be extremely agitated, tired and weak, by around month 4 I started getting pain in the top of my right hip have never experienced pain so unbelievably intense, if it was even just slightly touched I would drop to the ground in utter agony, I began to slur my words and became emotionally unstable. Tysabri seems to give me a much larger amount of MS which is annoying because they told me it had the least side effects and was by far the most effective. Glad to hear it helps other sufferers though . It's under PBS in Australia so they would only sting me for $37.50 a treatment."

Tysabri (natalizumab) "I’ve been on Tysabri for 3+ years now and it has been a great drug. It has helped me live a more normal life. I’ve had no relapses. I do struggle with spasticity, but it has stayed fairly consistent. Side effects are minor, sometimes a little joint pain and severe fatigue on the day of infusion."
