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.

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 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?
UPDATE: Thank you, everyone, for sharing your experiences. I know everyone is different but it really does help give me a sense of it and what I could experience.
