Tysabri - Take it?

My doc recommends Tysabri. I'm looking into insurance coverage and trying to decide if that is the route I want to pursue. Anyone out there tried Tysabri? If so what AEs did you experience? How did you feel after the infusion? Would you recommend it? Any helpful tips? Can you drive home or get out of bed the next day? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!

I was on it for two treatments before it was taken off the shelves. I had no problems with it. My oncologist who gives me my novantrone has asked me about doing it again numerous times but my feelings are to let it be on the market for awhile longer before doing it again. Good luck with your desicion :)

I had all my blood work and MRI done yesterday. I start the IV on Monday. I'm hoping it's going to work for me since Copaxone didn't really help. I'll post on Monday after the treatment. I hear it's supposed to be really good. I know they are doing a reasearch group so I'm not paying for the MRI, treatment and so on. Good luck on your desision and I'll post about it later :)
