That's the 64 thousand dollar question. Or should it be 64 million dollar question.....gotta figure in inflation.

If you would have had one or two or five relapses your Neuro would have probably said "switch to Avonex" or "switch to Rebif" or even "switch to Copaxone". Since you've not had a relapse they will claim the Beta is doing a wonderful job. You may not have had a relapse if you took no medication. That's just the nature of MS. There's no way to know for certain either way. And the pharmaceutical companies know this.

It's so hard to know who or what to believe anymore. Of course the pharmaceutical companies are going to present their product in the best light. They want profits.....and unless folks are taking their meds they don't see profits.
