Lemtrada vs Tysabri

Hello all, I was recently diagnosed with Secondary Progressive SPMS and I'm doing research on some of the different treatment options. I have been discussing with my neurologist and she is recommending Tysabri but I am worried about the JC Virus antibody count, i'm still waiting on the blood test results to come back. The more i read about tysabri the more i see that it is possible to develop the PML disease because you can always get the JC Virus later. I have been looking into Lemtrada because i like the idea of not having to worry about PML so much, also i like the idea of a set it and forget kind of mentality. I know its never that simple but i like the idea of it. I would like to know about your experiences with tysabri and lemtrada. Has anyone had any side effects, what does it take to switch from one treatment to another if it doesn't work for you, and is there anyone that has been on both? Thank you.

Have you considered cladribine ? Tablet a day for 5 days one month then same next month repeat a year later for 4 years cover. For me I believe it has been quite effective I was highly active lesions. Hope this helps have no experience with other two this is my first DMT
