I've been taking Avonex for 8 months now, and I'm concerned that it is the reason for my horrible fatigue (it started within a couple months of me starting Avonex). I also had a pretty rough summer, with my right arm randomly going completely numb (started in July, 5-6 months after starting Avonex) and right after that, I developed double vision from far away. The double vision pretty much disappeared and after a month, came back with a vengeance.
Before being diagnosed, I went at least a year between flares. All of this trouble came 7 months after my last flare. It makes me feel like taking the Avonex is just a waste of time, and talking to my neuro about it would be pointless (for this reason, I'm currently trying to see an MS specialist since he actually knows what he's doing while my neuro obviously doesn't). Have I given Avonex enough time to see if it really just isn't the right DMD for me or should I give it some more time?
