MS and after Tysabri

Hello, I am a caretaker of my friend who has MS.  Over the last 12 years he has been on  Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone drugs.  Now he is completing the 2 year mark of using Tysabri.  Dr Appointment in 2 weeks assume he will stop infusions.  I wonder what is next????  How are others doing after all these treatment and now what do they take???
Thanks
Kate

Kate,
  Tysabri is not the last option there is Gilenya and and few Chemo therapy drugs. There are also a few new drugs in clinical trials. If you look up MS drugs there are a few besides the CRABs and Tysabri.
