Default I wonder what docs choose?
I wonder if there are any neurologists or neuroscientists or whatever that have MS (there must be) and what THEY choose for treatment for themselves?

I went to my Gyno last Monday. He was diagnosed since I saw him last year. He is on copaxone. He is in his 50's and not doing well at all..he can no longer do surgeries or deliver babies.

Dr. Vincent Macaluso in Great Neck, NY is an MS Neurologist who has MS. He started with Avonex, but was loosing a day or two from side effects. Switched to Tysabri and is doing great. He speaks many weekends for Tysabri.

I know one doctor and one neuroscientist and both are on Tysabri, but both had been on Avonex prior to that.

Many TV star personalities say they are on Copaxone. I guess having no bad flu side effects, lets them continue to work.
