Welcome Nancy nurse, this is Joycie nurse! I was dx probable MS when I was 47, was able to work for about 3 years and am now on SSD. I am glad for all the years I worked as a nurse in that it gave me a nice monthly SSD check and now my body can concentrate on being as healthy as possible. I am absolutley positive that I would not be as healthy, not that I am healthy, as I am right now if had tried to continue working.

I am on Avonex. I started it about 3 months after dx. 10 yrears later I still only have the one lesion. Is that because of the Avonex? Who knows! But I'n not willing to chance it. I like Avonex because it is once weekly shots and it's IM. I get routine blood work to make sure my liver is OK with all of this. Stay in good communication with your Neuro and PCP.

Good luck and I'm glad you found us!
