Default Faith,

I ask because I've been on beta since Jan. I just got out of the hospital from a pretty bad exasebation...compliments of a brand new lesion. I go followup with neuro later this morning. We will discuss new plan of attack. I hope the C works for you. Good Luck.

Started seeing an MS specialist this month, in addition to my neuro. She recommended switching. My neuro had considered it too, but she seems to be more pro-active.

I liked Beta. Every other day, instead of daily. I didn't have side effects, except for a few site reactions. But, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
