Yes!! I'm covered in bruises. My CBC came back normal and the dr said it happens on tysabri.

I Was diagnosed in 1986 but my neurologist said I may have had it most of my life.
Dr. Stanley Cohan, of Providence Neurological disorders, specializing in MS in The West Hills of Portland Oregon, Told me that when he saw my clonic right foot and leg.
I was doing that in kindergarten, In Sioux Falls South Dakota.
I am now 54 years old, With unbearable right hip pain.
I had an undiagnosed break in my spine at one time. I currently need a hip replacement on my right side.
I literally had a mental breakdown approximately two months ago because of the pain and the excessive opiates I was on. This was of no fault of my doctors.
I also have a fistula, That was diagnosed

I don't bruise easily, and I have been on tysabri over 5 years. However, I was hospitalized a few years ago with extremely low platelet count (mine was 2,000 and normal is 150,000 - 200,000). I was covered with bruises. I had 4 blood transfusions. They don't think it was related to tysabri-but they never figured it out. I'm normal now . Strange.

Thanks, I asked at my last infusion and the girls really didn't have an answer, they just said maybe. But like yourself my cbc is normal. How long have you been on Tysabri @A MyMSTeam Member ?
