RW,

I just don't believe these stats anymore since I've tried four of these meds. I had relapses on Avonex, Rebif gave me very weird side effects abd symptoms, Tysabri made me feel worse. Copaxone is the only one that has totally stopped my relapses and allowed me to actually improve.

And I know others who have other similar stories but for a different med that works better for them. The main thing is to find the one that works for you, period. The stats really don't mean anything, imo.

I'm glad that Tysabri works so well for you though,
