Good luck with Avonex, Eric. I was on it about 12 yrs ago for 7/8 months. That's as long as I could stand the side effects. No liver problems, though. Don't remember the costs, but I'm sure it was less than it is today.

I then took Copaxone for a little less than a year. No side effects, but no benefit either. Avonex was the better DMD, if it weren't for the sides...I think it was working to keep Flares at bay.

Let us know how it works for you.
