Hi Brenda,

Welcome to NT. You've received some great advice already, and I second what Cherie said below, it makes a lot of sense if you plan to use LDN. I've been on Avonex, then Rebif, then Copaxone and finally, Tysabri. I sometimes think about what I'll do if I need to switch again, and for me it's a toss up between Avonex and Copaxone. I like the once a week shot, except for the fact it's a harpoon type of needle, lol.

I don't like to take a lot of meds, but the disease has made that decision for me. I try to reduce stress, eat well, exercise and get enough sleep and that helps too. Keep us posted on your decision.

I would suggest you adapt to ONE drug first though (for at least 3 months), and then try to introduce the other.
