Hello
I have tested positive for whatever the name of the virus is that peoplle with MS shought not take Tysabri. I have found out that some people that are positive still recieve the treatment. Do any of you have any insight on this?

Why did I do that? Because Tysabri changed my life and put my MS on hold for me. It's a risk vs. benefit and it's a very personal decision. The first 2 years the risk of PML when JCV+ isn't too high, actually the first year I don't think there is much risk at all-- but your risk goes up slightly more every infusion.
It's an amazing drug. Check out the Tysabri Users group for more info.
Best wishes.
