Hello wriser

Welcome to the MS World Forums!

Sounds as if Rebif was doing a good job until the liver problems. Maybe the Avonex will be helpful in keeping the relapses at bay.

Sorry to learn of your marriage break up. You don't have to feel alone with your MS here. There are a bunch of good people who are living with the challenges of MS too and understand.

There is alot of helpful info and support here at MS World.
There is a forum for young adults here too, that you may want to check out.

Wishing you the best. Hope to see more of your posts.

Take care,
KoKo

hey

hi. I am 29 too. I was diagnosed last week and I am taking it pretty hard since my step mother has had it all my life. She can't walk and has a breathing tube now. So this really sucks! I live in brooklyn. I am really just looking to talk to someone who understands what I am feeling, and maybe can help me get out of this funk. I am normally a pretty up beat, make the best of any situation, positive person...but now I just want to sit in a corner and cry. I know the extent of the damage this disease can cause not only to myself but to every relationship in my life and I am scared. Sorry for complaining, just can't seem to wrap my head around this....any advice?

wriser, welcome to the site but sorry for the reason. I am sorry that you had a marriage break up too. With that kind of stress alone your MS can be very mean to you.

I took Avonex for 2 years but it made my liver go wacky. I was off all meds for 5 years then tried Beta = allergic and Copaxone = allergic. I am now on Ty for 2 years and liver is happy and I am doing well. I hope that Avonex can work for you.
