Tysabri (natalizumab) is a disease modifying treatment (DMT) for highly active relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Tysabri is given as an intravenous infusion (drip), usually once every four weeks and trials have shown that it reduces the number of relapses experienced by around 70%.Find out how other MSers have managed their condition using Tysabri MS treatment and ask any questions you might have.

Tysabri

I was diagnosed in April of this year and due to the number and location of lesions, recommended infusion Tysabri once a month. I had my first infusion and felt like I had a hangover for a month with some heaviness in my legs. My second infusion was a week ago and three days after my infusion I woke...

Tysabri

I had my third infusion of Tysabri today and I’m noticing the side effects getting worse than before. Is anyone else on Tysabri? What are your experiences? I was also curious on when they started to feel the full effects of it. Did it take 6 months to a year until you felt the positive change?

I started my first Tysabri infusion today. The i fusion itself went seamlessly. I was wondering if anyone else was on Tysab...

Tysabri

Hello I am new on here. I am on tysabri the question is if I tested positive to JCV what other DMT's are available in the UK 🇬🇧 I've been on ocrevus they had to take me off it as it wasn't working quick enough, so I don't think they'll put me back on that. Thank you for your time
