Hi everyone. I went to my ms doctor today and am going to have a new mri next monday. He doesn't think avenox is working for me because i have so many active lessions so we talked about changing my avenox. Just want some imput on the other meds out there and how they are working for you guys. thanks- erica

I've only been on rebif for about 6 weeks but so far so good. I know everyone is different though. what does your neuro think? Do you like him/her? If so, do some research on your own, discuss it with him or her and come up with a plan together. Then trust the plan and your decision.

I've been taking Rebif since August 2006, and can't complain. Like Julie said: talk to your doc, come up with a plan, and be confident in your decision :)

I made the switch from avonex (was on for about 6 years) to rebif about 3 months ago and I can honestly say it's been pretty great. If you body is already used to the meds (no more flu life side effects) you won't feel a change with rebif. 2 downsides are 1)of course its more often and 2)for me it seems to hurt a little more and I have more skin irritation that with avonex.

Overall though the higher dosage has really helped me.

After a review of the 10 year studies I changed from Avonex to Copoxone. I have done very well with very few exacerbations. Check on each of the drgu companies websites for their 10 year studies and compare. Good Luck!

Rebiff here for 9 months. Working better for me than copaxone. I know they all work differently with everyone though. Good luck.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
