Good deal Eddie; hope it stabilizes you!

ANN, I'm not sure who has what backwards! When I say DMD (Disease Modifying Drug), I'm using what I understand the definition is:
http://ms.about.com/od/glossary/g/modifying_drugs.htm.
"Definition: Disease modifying treatments are a group of drugs that impact the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) by slowing the progression of the disease and decreasing the number of relapses. The disease-modifying drugs are: Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, Novantrone, Rebif and Tysabri."

From my understanding DMDs (I'm assuming Tecfidera will be added to this list) are not for symptom management. I wouldn't surprised if I have this wrong!
