Default To take treatment or not?

I know this is a personal question I must answer for myself, but somehow, someway, I am hoping, praying that I can know what I should do.

I have been allergic to many medications, I have failed on tysabri and gilenya. My neuro will not allow me to try Beta or Rebif, do to my allergic reactions. Avonex, probably not because of my seizures and seizure meds.

That leaves me with Copaxone and Novantrone. I left my neuro's office today with instructions to go research the two and let him know which one I want to try.

Well, I looked up the Novantrone, and well no thanks...that is not for me.

So it is Copaxone or nothing at all......and right now, the nothing at all seems very good to me. I will probably have an allergic reaction to the Copaxone anyhow.

That leads to my initial question.....How many here have just decided on no DMD's? and Why?
