Wink Hi I'm new! Drug reccommendations

Well.......I'll try this again, it didn't take my first post. Hi ya'll I was dx in 1997. Here's my timeline:

1997: Dx, MRI only.

7/2/12: Woke up with numb left side and speech slurring.
7/5/12: Primary dr. appt....all better.

7/8/12: Woke up numb left side & speech AGAIN.
7/11/12: New Neuro apt new dr. Puts me in hospital for IV steroids.
7/13/12: Released with only slight improvement.
7/18/12: F/u appt with Neuro....says I look improved(NO ****) Suggests Rebif, Betaseron or Gilenya, have to call him when I decide.

Went 15 years with dx and a year of Avonex in 1997-1998. Not sure I even want meds again but this 2x within 2 weeks has me scared. The lack of quality dr's around here has me worried too, I know they are qualified, but really? Going to ER for EVERY exacerbation?? Makes me very nervous and confused. I am a very strong person and if anything, I really dont have time for all this!! Suggestions?
