how did you choose? What was the deciding factor?
I know it's a very personal decision and obviously no one can make it for me, but I feel very torn right now, so I'm curious to hear some different perspectives that I may not have thought of on my own.
Back story: My RRMS has been pretty mild and stable so far. Had a pseudo-MS attack this fall but my MRIs came back clean so we're still not sure what caused those symptoms but they've abated. I saw my MS specialist a few weeks ago for my annual visit and he was really encouraging me to consider switching to G or T. He said his thinking on these drugs has shifted recently and he recommends them, not b/c the Beta isn't working for me now, but for the sake of my long-term prognosis. I have to admit, I also love the idea of no shots, but obviously T and G both have some more serious side effects so ... hence the "feeling torn."
Any insights would be appreciated.
