    Recently diagnosed with MS

    I was diagnosed with MS in April of this year. I just turned 50 this month and have been taking the Avonex pen since June. I have one cat and had a black lab until he became ill in October. I am dealing with my illness with good spirits. I become fearful at times but there are so many advancements medications for MS it fuels my optimism.

    Hi LD and welcome to MSWorld!! We glad you found us. I got my dx when I was 50 yrs old too. In fact, it was a within the same week and I had to cancel I great party that I had planned....I hope the Avonex helps you keep things in check - I stayed on it for 6 years.

    We have a wonderful community here and hope you make some good friends. Come back often and stay well.

            very good attitude...

            VG attitude.
            I took my 15th shot Avonex Pen last night...with No Chills
            flu symptoms / side effects. Maybe my body is hopefully accepting Anonex now.
