I am happy to hear of your recovery.
I am a similar case like yours, 27, got dx in 2000 as well, had my liberation in Bulgaria in June.
I feel my symptoms from time to time, esp when I am tired, but my energy level is better, I am not tired of life anymore.

However, I am still on ldn. I am afraid to give them up. They did wonders with my energy in 2007, got my life back, and i am afraid to let them go. So if Tysabri gets too expensive, maybe you can try LDN, a tremendous help with energy.
Postprocedure, I had a slow recovery as well, but I am ok now, so things are starting to turn up for the better.

Best wishes,
Nasti
