My Tysabri Diary...

Brief update from me...I would encourage all Tysabri users to send a brief (or long) progress report to: mspatientsforchoice.org/contact.htm. This will help many MS patients looking for information about how other MS patients are doing on Tysabri therapy :)

Also, my friend, Stuart Schlossman, is running his 2nd "Un-Official Tysabri Poll" which ends on March 15, 2007. I would encourage all Tysabri users to take his poll by going to:

msviewsandrelatednews.com/blog5/index.php?itemid=244&catid=2#c

and copy and paste the following questions (with your answers) in the comment section.
