Comment:
I was diagnosed in 1989. Did not take anything until 1998 and then was on Avonex until 2005. Had a minor episode and doctor pulled me off that and put me on Rebif.

I've been on Rebif for two yrs and am sick of the side effects and the shots, and so have asked my neurologist for an oral MS me. He said I have to have another MRI in Jan and we'll see if he thinks I'll be okay on an oral med.
