I can relate, Punk. I've been seriously considering stopping the Betaseron I'm on. I still have relapses while taking it and I'm tired of the shots. Plus, the consensus is what...30% reduction in flares while on a DMD. Those stats are not blowing me away so I might just give it a try. If nothing else, it will give my body a break and if I want to I can resume the meds at a later date. I have not spoken with my Neuro about it - I already know what he will say. He was pushing me to go on Ty and I wasn't even having any trouble with what I was on (as far as adverse side effects). But, it's our bodies.....we should be able to decide what we want to do.

Taking a break from the Rebif doesn't mean you can't go back on it later. Taking a break might be a good thing.

If I do decide to stop I will tell - not ask - my Neuro about it. If he gives me a hard time well, maybe it's time for a new Neuro.
