I believe Avonex is similar Dej, maybe your pharma or neuro could clarify this?

*I know my neuro wants me to 'try' Avonex and reject it as unacceptable to 'fail' on 2 DMDs so he can chuck me on Tysabri (which I told him already, I'd go back to Copaxone if Avonex proved to be a problem before EVER considering Tysabri). Offside grumble*
