(Sorry for long post) I've only been only betaseron for a while but it has been going sooo bad. i feel like the medication has hit me worse than the ms did. and i'm not even sure if i'll ever have an "attack" again since the only thing that really happened was stuff going numb and not being able to use my hands that good. that went away before i started the medicine except my hands are still kinda numb.
Problem is since i'm stronger than before my neurologist thinks i'm doing fine. but of course i'm stronger than before, i was suffering an attack, i guess thats how to put it. i'm in my first year of college and this all started this year and its making me miss classes but i'm pretty sure they think i'm lying about my side effects. which bothers me but i understand why they think that i just don't know how to prove i'm not.
It's so bad and i just can't do needles anymore. i hate every other day because its shot day and honestly i feel like i'm just going to stop. i don't even know if without the medicine the ms will get worse but better safe than sorry i guess. I just wanna switch to a pill at least. i've been reading and seen that BG-12 is good but i don't know if i can just ask my neurologist.
The only two treatments she's told me was about betaseron and copaxone. And i cannot and..will not..switch to an every day injection medicine. She told me there was pills the first time we talked but said they didn't know the long term effects, like if you take it for 10-20 years, so she wanted to see the other two medicines. but honestly if that's true i don't care, i just need to get off these injections. i just wanna know if i can like ask to switch to pills even if she didn't recommend them starting off??? like can she say noo?? i'm alone in another state for college and i've never been sick or been to the hospital before this year and i just don't know how to do this =\ may seem dumb but yea..?
