If you had nothing to lose, I'd say give it a try........
But the cost is ridiculous. Theres a good chance you could get good results from one of the other drugs.
Would your insurance cover the other injectables?
I know the Betaseron people have programs for those who can not afford the drug.

Hi Karilann,
You're right. Medications all have side effects and some are very bad. I do not qualify for payment help to make it worth it. I've called to see if they were checking with both of my insurances and am waiting on the return call from them on that. That is a good point, what about the other injectables instead of the pill. I'm tired of the injections though and thought it would be nice to take a pill. It's so difficult sometimes. Thank you for your insight and support.
