Tysabri is a drug that really plays with your immune system. It can effect MS patients in different ways if one decides to stop using it.
I don't believe they know enough about the mechanism of what happens to really have an answer as yet.

Try doing a search for IRIS which is also known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
