Up until now, have they recommended any other treatment for PRMS?

I'm having to wait until October before I begin my switch from Rebif to Tysabri. My neurologist says that he recommends this for PRMS (I've since moved to Cleveland, OH, from Dallas since my initial diagnosis of MS). I don't know how Tysabri affects RRMS.

RX, good link. Thanx.

Tysabri has been recommended for "relapsing" forms, so it can be used for RRMS. However, prescription guidelines, and I imagine insurance guidelines, say you must have failed on the current disease modifying drugs...at least that is how they're starting the reintroduction.

I do fine on Betaseron, so I know I wouldn't qualify.

Best of luck to you. I've heard some amazing things from folks who took Tysabri during the trials.
