Default I am new, too!

Hi all! I recognize some of you from MSW! There I am exchangemom.

Someone suggested this site since I have to think about what med to try next. I was dxd 6/07 with no symptoms.

I found out by accident, literally, after a few broken bones. Started with Betaseron and went up gradually in dose. I had major surgery before going on Beta (accident) and was not feeling great anyway.

Gradually many things started happening and I kept getting so sick with sore throats that they wanted to take my tonsils out at 51!

I went off the Betaseron and have not been sick since and feel so much better. I did try meds for the side effects, but I had more side effects from them!

Now my doc wants to put me on Ty and I am not sure that is a good idea. I am allergic to 4 antibiotics and I understand there are frequent infections on Ty.

I have only had one bad episode in January so now I am RR. Looking for some other ideas besides Ty. Look forward to meeting you all.
