My neurologist switched me from Tecfidera to Tysabri. So far I have done a total of five infusions. Over time my MS symptoms have gotten worse, especially with walking. My walking is at its all time worst. I know neither drug is meant to make me feel better but if anyone took Tysabri, did anyone have issues with symptoms worsening? I feel when I was on Tecfidera, a lot of symptoms were sitting idle for the most part. thanks for sharing your answers.

I was put on Tecfidera after I was diagnosed. It did nothing for me so my neuro switched me to Ocrevus. I'm still having some issues, but they are not quite as bad.

I'm on Tysabri, can't say i have gotten terribly worse over time, though definitely some... It is always impossible to know how much worse i might have been off the med. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure about the drugs you mentioned but i feel my walking / balance is worse after my lemtrada infusions at the end of July. I know it's what 3 weeks. Crazy how Drs tell you this is the next best option. You then sit back wondering if you did the right thing. Hope everything works out for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Best of luck
