I've long been anti-DMD (well, not 'long' compared with some here, but since my Copaxone, dismissed DMDs). Since my O.N. attack and relapse, I've been holding onto a 'script' for the Avonex pen. My neurologist raved about how great it was.

I'm still debating if I really want to go back on a DMD, but as of today my MS symptoms that plagued me back in my limboland days (long before the IV steroids, prednisone etc were on the radar, or MS for that matter) are firing off here and there, and some are quite bad when they're active.

So I am really wondering if I should go ahead and fill the script, or not. I'll be sure to post back if I do decide to try, and my experience with it.

All aside, in Canada the pen's more expensive. I'm not sure if the cost is set at Federal or Provincial level here though, and if in the USA/abroad it's the same cost either way. I suspect the pen to always be more than the 'traditional' Avonex syringes.
