Default Reality check on RX choice

My problem wasn't with my Neuro, but insurance. Let's face it they choose by refusing to pay until you try their preferred formulary. My Neuro argued with insurance to keep me on Avonex...it was working and I didn't have issues. They were trying to force me on Copaxone(I don't want a new strain of drug, they all stop working at some point so why burn through them early.) The best we were able to do was get insurance to agree to Rebif. One thing I do know is don't refuse to be heard and fight for what you know and want. You may not win 100% but for me I got the 80%. 4 years and no relapse so far; cheers to another 40 more I hope!
