Lauren,

You are absolutely amazing, and such an inspiration to those of us with MS. Thank you for testifying on behalf of all the MS patients that wanted this drug back on the market. God bless you!

Ms Roberts,

You do not say if you are still on Tysabri today? Any side-effects or reactions?

Also, did you know it was now being used in Crohn's Disease also?

Hello,

That was my videotaped testimony submitted to the FDA AC in 3/06, no one was on Tysabri at the time.

I'm still on Tysabri & have been since 10/06. I have not had a relapse nor any disease progression. My 20th infusion is in 04/08.

I don't have any side effects or reactions at all from Tysabri.

I am very well aware that Tysabri was recently approved for moderate-severe Crohn's disease, & it was made available to those CD patients in 2/08.

Thank you for your questions. Lauren

Lauren, Thanks for posting this important video testimony. No doubt about it, your testimony did help bring Tysabri to the market. Well done.

You are absolutely wonderful, Lauren. I'm an Elan stockholder and always read your posts on the Investor Village message board. What you have accomplished, and are still accomplishing, for people with MS is truly exceptional. I admire you immensely, and am proud to "know" you even by proxy.
