I'm amazed, and so pleased that this story is resonating with so many people. Thank you.

Let's be real though, it is real injustice to us M.S.'rs that had the drug we thrived on for so long, ripped away from us, without a choice.

I'm more than certain, the NHS didn't anticipate the downward spiral that we would be going down, (now we are on the biosimilar alternative,Tyruko).

HOWEVER.. our hospitals should be actively listening to us when we tell them that our quality of life has been ripped away from us, now that we are on Tyruko. 
Especially those of us that have been on it for well over a decade.

There should be regular check ins with us; to see how, or if, we were tolerating the new drug. Then switching us back to the original, Tysabri, if we are not doing well.

With such a small trial (29 patients), done on patients switching from Tysabri to Tyruko, personally, if I was a healthcare professional, I would be keeping a close eye on us.

So, friends, let's keep on pushing the message out there, that this is not okay!

If you have already signed, I thank you. 
Now, if we can all get at least one other friend, spouse, or other family members to sign too, that'd make a massive impact.

Many thanks in advance from,

Julie, her family, friends, and all the other MS patients suffering due to the switch xx
