Yeti,

it is good that you are getting some help sooner rather than later. Even if you don't need the TN med today, you won't be in fear of the pain iif you have something to take if you need to. And Doydie makes a good point about the cold. It has turned on my TN- weather, a friend's house AC, and a car AC.

And the DMD: choose IM or SQ. If IM there is one that I know of. If SQ, choose number of times a week. If you tend toward depression, you want to stay away from interferons and go w Copaxone.

They will all cause lumps bumps and burning. Avonex less so. These lumps and bumps are very bad in the beginning- it will make you wonder how anyone stays on them. The interferons will give you a bad 2 day flu that slowly gets better over time.

That's my experience in a nutshell. We are all behind you.
