My disease course is slow, but my diagnosis is late. I've had several small attacks, but I've only had 2 bad attacks. This latest one that led to the diagnosis and a horrific one in 2004. The 2004 attack left me with a lot of permanent problems, but otherwise I haven't been too bad off.

So it isn't clear to me that I should go on the interferons at all, especially with stuff that looks both safer and possibly more effective around the corner. But that could be a year away for all I know. The doctor thinks I should get on something sooner rather than waiting. I'm not convinced (or unconvinced).
