I am a 35 year old female; who is on my 2nd relapse. First time optic neuritus-that was in 2010. This round, same thing. Left eye. Only worse this time.
Got on steroids, it is clearing up now; I have seen the neuro, she wants me put on medicine as well as my husband. I am torn between Tysabri and Tecfidera. The Gilenya scares the crap out of me honestly. I was previously on Copaxone, which I hated, left indentations, and huge red marks and I lost so much weight. Not good.
I am a very very active person, I live in Colorado, so I do anything out doors and have way to many hobbies! I don't have time to "be down" with the "flu like" symptoms etc. Help/thoughts/concerns? Anything would be helpful right now. I go back in 3 weeks, to get another MRI and she did take 6 vials of blood for random testing; JC Virus etc...
Thank you!
