He didn't like the headaches and dizziness. He advised me to stop and said it sounded like an adverse reaction to the TEC. Bummer too....I had so little of the side effects!! But I knew something was seriously wrong when my neck and shoulders would get really tight and even my jaw ached! Then I felt like my head was full of fog.

Anyway, he wants me to try Avonex. Still an interferon (I used to take Betaseron) but its only given once a week IN THE MUSCLE and the other was under the skin every other day. He is hoping I continue to be flare free (have been for 11 years) and can handle emotionally the fewer shots.

I am bummed. Went to Dairy Queen and ordered a Peanut Buster Parfait. Probably had 2000 calories in it.....but I didn't care
