I have to say it was hard to get on in the first place. But the MRIs since I've been on it haven't shown any progression so I think its working. The injections are painful despite different tricks to make it easier. I also feel like I have the flu 24-7. My body temp rises noticeably. But its better than the alternative of doing nothing. As long as the MRIs are good I won't be switching.
