Tysabri infusion

Hi Dr. Kantor,
I got my dx in December. I tried Copaxone and had to D/C due to skin reactions. I was changed to Tysabri and had my first infusion yesterday and everything went great, no reactions or side effects. However, I could swear I have more energy today. I have not been shopping for months and today I was able to go shopping. Is this my imagination? Just a rare good day? Or could the med already be having an effect on my fatigue? FYI, all other symptoms are pretty much the same.
Thanks,
Sally

I am a 43 yr old woman with SPMS. I am mobile and independent with difficulties with my legs and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. I manage pretty good on my own. Why is it that so many men leave their wives who have MS? I have been married over 25 years and my husband just left saying he wants to be with someone healthy and can do the things he wants to do with him and that I don't have a choice to deal with my disease, but he does. The MS Society says it is about 80% that leave their wives. I am devastated. Any suggestions?
