So, copaxone or tysabri? Tysabri, of course!
I'm in the enrollment process for TOUCH, and have my first infusion
tentatively scheduled for Feb 16th. I stopped Rebif about 3 weeks ago
in anticipation (that was one habit that was definitely NOT hard to
break - lol!)
I'm a little scared about PML (who wouldn't be?), but more scared
about progressing.
I thank god everyday for this board and being able to read about all
of your experiences. It gives me peace and hope.
Wish me luck!

Good luck with the Tysabri Bill. I'm personally afraid of that stuff and I'm going to stick to Copaxone.
I actually wrote an opinion piece on my blog yesterday about it, after receiving several hit from people looking for info. The article is posted at:

Feel free to come over, visit and comment the article. It would be nice to have a comment reflecting the other side of the decision to or not to take Tysabri.
By the way, I'm a 44 yr old male, diagnosed with RRMS almost 4 years ago.

Hi Bill...good luck on the 16th! With the TOUCH protocol in place to minimize the risk of PML, I think you will be just fine and should be safe from developing PML if you are not immune compromised, and not using Tysabri with other immunomodulators/suppressants.
I'm having my 5th dose of Tysabri on 2/19...I can hardly wait!
Welcome to the Tysabri Train, Bill...Wooooohoooooo!
