I have a family and house to take care of. This is just not working.

I am a bit concerned about the Copaxone because I am reading many users are having trouble with hives.

Anybody do this type of switch? Are the side effects of C less than A?

Thanks,
I am not going to try to persuade you either way but I will tell you that 10 weeks is not enough time for most people to adjust to Avonex.
