I don't have an lot of answers for you, Dej, but I'd be scared, too. Beta was not effective for me, so the other interferons would also likely not be.

I've had a lot of BAD site reactions with Copaxone, and was relieved when my MS Specialists allowed me to decrease my frequency and number of sites used, because I was also worried about what other options might be, if Copaxone didn't work out.

I do know, though, that she mentioned some drugs that are currently being studied as options at one point. I wasn't real interested in those, because of the possibility of being on a placebo, and getting nothing at all.

However, if the ABCR's were not an option, (and, I agree, I'm also afraid of Ty), I'd probably look into a med that's being researched.
