It's such a pain that nobody does anything for the p versions. I'm thinking of telling a lie to my doc bout having a relapse - i want to try something but there doesn't seem to be anything to try - i feel like i'm going downhill and hate it
i think i'm going to go 4 the tysbari

Tysabri isn't limited to RRMS, BTW. The guidelines say "relapsing," not "relapsing remitting" That doesn't help you much, but I am relapsing progressive, and because of the way they worded it, I can slide it.

Yes, it is really crummy that there the drugs are not usually tested on people with progressive MS.

Have you considered Novantrone? - it is approved for "worsening" (doesn't have to be relapsing) MS. It worked great for me, but I hit my lifetime limit about one and 1/2 years ago, so am moving on to Tysabri.
