I had my followup appt today, after my first MS episode last month. My doctors want to start on meds based on the MRI's and the amount of lesions.
Since I am brand new to the MS world I have a big decision to make, she gave me 3 choices....
Avonex, Copaxone or Aubagio....
I am very worried about the injections even though I see plenty of people say it's no biggie...
Avonex seems to have a history but side effects, so I am ruling that one out, for now....
I know that the pill version is just...so new...
How did some of you decide what to choose?
pros and cons list? or just clinical results?
I don't want to be a total chicken but the pill seems so much easier...and way less scary.
I will have another MRI in 6 months and liver panel checks, am I taking too much of a risk if I choose the pill?
Lots of questions, but any advice would be great....thanks
