Today I had a checkup with the MS neuro. The same one has been treating and following me for four years. I'm currently in the Tovaxin trial, but on my second try to have a positive test for MRTC's to make the vaccine.

If the test is negative, then I have to make a decision about treatment. We spoke today after the doctor looked at my MRI's from last week. Given my history, and my fairly clear-looking MRI's, I have the choice to go back on Avonex (which had the least side effects for me of the three I tried) or, go without treatment for awhile and just have regular checkups and MRI's to monitor the disease activity.

I still have to think about it, but I'll likely choose the no medication route if I can't stay in the Tovaxin trial.
