multiple sclerosis
"I was diagnosed with MS in 96 and was put on Betaseron.  Moved on from that to Avonex, Rebif, Copaxone, and Avonex again.  In 2010, I experienced a severe flare up involving complete paralysis on my right side.  Obviously the Avonex was doing nothing and my neurologist suggested Tysabri.   At that point, I really didn't care about the side effects.  All I wanted was some semblance of my life back.  As it turned out, Tysabri is and was a miracle drug.  I regained the use of my right side, was able to return to work as a state trooper, and eventually retire."
