Over the years I have followed Tysabri and ELN partly out of an investment interest and partly out of concern for my wife who has RRMS (over 25 years now). My wife suffers as many do with fatigue and generally not feeling well. That is every day life for her.

My wife had been on Copaxone for many years and last July had a bad exacerbation, then another in November and one more in January. That pattern was different and alarming. Her doctor described it as a possible treatment failure and wanted to switch her to T.

A little over 3 months ago my wife got her first T infusion. I was very hopeful that she would start to feel better. (I can't imagine what it is like to feel bad every day - hope I never do.) The first two infusions saw no change in her life.

After the third infusion she had a couple of days where she felt better but soon days were back to "normal". We did not know what to think of that.

Eight days ago she had her fourth infusion and has felt well ever since. No fatigue, feels well and can stand firmly/comfortably on one leg (something she has not been able to do for a long time).

So we are hopeful that T is now working for her and that eventually she will feel well every day.

BTW - I do not own any ELN so this is not someone talking his book. :-)
