    Avonex has failed me

    I was on Avonex for 4 years, and during that time I only progressed worse and had more relapses, putting me in a wheelchair, but I got back on my feet with will power and my fiance and children's. Not to mention the fevers from the injections were a pain.
    Been on Rebif now for 3 years and have experienced only 2 minor flare ups. Fevers are seldom with it and mild, with no injection site reactions.
    If the possible side effects of Tysabri (heart failure and arrhythmia, even in those with cardiac history) or Gilenya (liver impairment and carcinogenic) were not so bad I would go with one of them, as they have better remission rates. I will not go that route unless I'm severely impaired and disabled by MS.
