Hi and welcome, though I'm sorry you have to be here.

Welcome Crayon guess we all are in the same boat together good to have people who understand. I was diagnosed RRMS in August and have been doing Avonex which is a once a week shot since November. I'm praying it is helping. Have my 2nd MRI coming up in August, so then I guess we will know for sure or as for sure as anything seems to be with this Monster.
Good luck to you.

Thanks all
Good to meet you, I plan on doing alot of reading on here! got to see my Nero at the end of the month to see what he says about a treatment plan. the nurse that came out to watch me do the injections of Acthar said i might want to ask about Avonex.
I have not been taking anything until now, this last flair was bad and i think it might be time to discuss treatment.
I have alot of health problems ,2 shots of insulin a day heart prob, well i could go on and on u get the picture all these freaking pills and maby something else to add!!!
ok thats all out! lol now i feel better 1 day at a time
Jesus and thank you for the people here.

Crayon: If you look at the National MS Society's Website, there is a list of all of the medications that are used for MS. Then, come back on here and see the different medications on our forums and how people reacted to these meds.

Best of luck to you!
