Hi Wilson, I'm still doing well on Avonex and hope that you're fine too. Have you heard much in the States about " Goat's Serum?" I appreciate that most of the great advances do seem to come from you - in the States- but there is great excitement here about this new drug therapy - with lit...

A scared Brit!
