I'm on rebif but it'll make you feel like poop runned over until you get used to it, 3-7 months. My doc also adds fish oil and vit D. I just avoid vit C. You'll get a lot of feedback on this one

I've been on Avonex and Rebif for the last year and I still have many relapses.

Thanks for the reply. Out of interest why no VitC? I am considering Copaxone

I have tried Copaxone before, and I am currently on Rebif. Honestly, Copaxone is easier to take, because even though you have to take injection daily, I barely got any side effects. Although the medicine didn't work for me (I got 8 new legions), everyone is different, so, if might work for you. This is the chance that you will take with any of the medicines, so, I recommend beginning with the "easiest" one. Good luck to you, and I hope everything goes well with you!-Lisa

if MS is your immune system attacking your CNS, why boost it?

I have a 2 phase plan.. One stop progression with LDN and Copaxone. Two, repair nerve damage, supplements and vitamins.

Well, you ask good questions. Finding a drug to aid in slowing the progression of the disease is a tricky one. And what worked for a different person, may not be good or even work at all for you. When I was first diagnosed I was on Rebif, it didn't work at all for me, and caused me to have horrible depression. I am currently on Avonex, and it seems to do ok.

As far as supplements, I take calcium because I don't drink MILK. I take Flax Seed, because of the oxidants. I take L-Lysine because my Nuerologist swears by it, and I work out regularly.

If you are interested in seeking treatment outside the box of "normal methods." I did travel to China for an Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Transplant. I can tell you all about it if you would like.

copaxone is the only injectable i was willing to take.not an interfearon-no side effects-great record.but it's your body and life research each one so you are educated to make the best decission for you

I have been taking Rebif since Aug 05, had no new attacks. Had no side effects from taking the rebif. Hopefully its working?

I take Copaxone, least side effects, was on Avonex couldn't take it. If you want some good guides to start you off with diets & supplements check out the NMSS for their info. They offer alot of great stuff.

WAS ON AVONEX DID WORK 4 MY MS BUT GAVE ME TERRIBLE MOOD SWINGS. WAS PUT ON COPAXONE BUT HAD A VERY BAD ALLERGIC REACTION 2 IT. BUT REMEMBER AS OTHERS HAVE SAID HERE WHAT DOES NOT WORK ON 1 PERSON MAY WORK ON ANOTHER. I WILL BE STARTING TYSABRI NEXT MONTH.
