I began the journey with Avonex. I was happy to be on that until my liver tests started coming back with elevated ALT and AST. Also, it wasn't helping to minimize lesions showing up on MRI.

I switched to Copaxone. I was really happy with that until I started (only recently) to notice the body dents. I've only been on it a year. It does appear to be doing the job it's supposed to do however, with regard to staving off exacerbations.

That said, I don't like that my choices are: 1. ruining my inside-body by damaging my liver, or 2. ruining my outside-body by creating deformity.

I'm not sure at this point I really want to live with either of those two solutions and am SERIOUSLY considering going off meds all together.

3 weeks ago it was a completely different story but today, I'm ready to ditch the meds. We'll see how I feel in a week or two but really, I may not be up for this.

:-/ sigh.
