Natalizumab advice ?

Heya I'm really nervous to post this however I need really honest advice/help/information. I've been on so much medication for my ms and personally I think it has made my MS worse and my mobility has been really badly effected. Because of this I'm terrified of taking anymore drugs however my ms doctor has recommended IV treatment and I've been thinking about Natalizumab.. but everything I read is negative. Has anyone ever taken or on Natalizumab? What is your honest opinion on it and if Natalizumab isn't right what other IV treatments are good? Thank you and thank you for being honest. I need the good, the bad and ugly side of Natalizumab. Natalie x

Tysabri? You only read negative opinions? I, personally, love it. No - to minimal side effects, great recovery from symptoms, once a month treatment, am happy with it. Of course, the decision is yours and should be consulted with your neuro after deep personal consideration ;)

I think it is a good drug and have been on it for 4 years.Haven't had any exacerbation of or changes to my MRI in that time and had zero side effects. I did have more retinal thinning on my last OCT scan so my doctor suggested I might want to try Lemtrada but I would rather stick with Natalizumab for now.
