This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi all, Been on Avonex for 1yr. 6 months. Had my MRI last month. No new lesions or no active lesions, so I guess that's good. As for as helping the way I feel, don't know. I stay very tired-- could just be the MS. How much Avonex do u take twice a week? Never heard of taking it twice a week, ofcours...

Hi all, I pay 50$ co-pay. Insurance picks up the other $1097.OO. Thank goodness I'm still able to work and keep my insurance. Pepper

:) Hi Crispy, Went to the site you recomended. Found it very enlighting. Will talk to my new neuo. about it. I have an appt. on March 15. He only takes M.S. patients so I think I'll feel more at ease with him and his decisions since he keeps up with the latest in M.S. treatments. Thanks again to eve...

I hate to sound dumb, but what is LDN? I have been on Avonex since being diagnosed in Jan.2003. Thanks for any info on managing the side effects. In the process of finding another neuro. Mine does not give a lot of info.

The one thing friends and family can do for me is to quit saying " but you don't look sick" I believe they really don't think I am because they can't " see" the illness.
