Tysabri still working after 2 years on drug

Two years after beginning treatment with Tysabri, 37 percent of patients remained free of disease activity, compared to 7 percent of placebo-treated patients, Biogen Idec reports. Sixty-four percent of patients showed no sign of relapse or sustained disability progression, and 58 percent were free of radiological disease activity.
I have been on Tysabri since
I have been on Tysabri since December of last year and I have had 2 major relapses since then. I was on Betaseron for a year and that was not preventing new lesions, but I do wonder if I have made the right decision. Now, I am dragging my feet much worse than before, need assistance at times getting around and out of work. So, saying all of that, is Tysabri the right choice, maybe not:(
