Tysabri Eligibility

Hi all, I wondered if anyone could help answer some questions/give their experience.... I was diagnosed in May this year with rapid RRMS following loss of sensation/power in right leg/Side in December 19 and then optic neuritis in April 20. First MRI was in March 20. I was originally told I would receive Tysabri but needed an MRI (May 20) - I now have the results and have been told I am not eligible. But my understanding from MS Trust is that it’s two relapses in under 12 months that means you meet the criteria ... ? Any experiences or advice would be really appreciated in navigating this new world! Thanks so much.

@bryony-2 Hi and welcome to the club Having read your post have you had a lumber puncture yet? As here in the UK you can only be given a 100% diagnosis if you meet the McDonald criteria. Were you offered any other DMTs or just Tysabri normally your given a choice. And try and get in contact with your ns nurse or your GP. https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/mcdonald-criteria
