I was started on Gilenya a month ago. It is the only dmd I have taken so far. At my follow up visit this Monday, my neuro decided she wants an MRI of my spinal cord. Before they did not need it because of the amount of lesions on my brain and optic nerves, they did not need it to make a dx. She did tell me that if I have lesions on my spinal cord she would like to consider switching me to Tysabri. So I'm guessing that's a stronger dmd? I know there is a small risk but the whole PML thing is a bit scary to me. So is the fact that she is a ms specialist and told me that I have one of the worst cases of ms she has ever seen in my stage of the disease. (newly dx'd rrms)
I guess I'm asking for peoples preferences in the 2 drugs?
Does anyone have the trifecta of lesions in all 3 places? If so, how does that effect you overall, and what medication are you on?
