Hello,
I’ve just received an MS diagnosis and my consultant has offered me DMT with the choices of copaxone or tysabri. I was wondering if anyone has had either/ both of these treatments and could give me any advice?
Thanks!

Hi, I will have been on Tysabri 5 years this September. All I can say is its brilliant, no real side effects apart from tiredness the day after infusion. I have been relapse free since being on Tysabri. Hope this helps.
Hi Elicia, welcome to the club
I was on Tysabri for 6 or 7 years. I had a similar experience as Irons. Main side effect was being knackered for the rest of the day after an infusion, but that’s about it. Hardly any relapses too. However, I eventually decided to come off it, as my risk of PML was getting pretty high (your consultant presumably said something to you about this?)
But as I always say to people, no decision is final. If you don’t get on with a particular treatment, you can always ask to switch.
Good luck 
Dan
