So glad you're feeling better Dej. I have been off the needles for almost 4years and feel so much better. For me the meds were worse than the MS symptoms.So far for me, no flairs or no new lesions. Hope all goes well for you.

Years ago I brought my unused Avonex to the Neuro, and then three + years later the Copaxone found a home.

My MS specialist said he had people in the clinic who could use the med (Avonex) and to bring it in at the next appointment, that one was eons ago.

Do you realize what just one needle filled with Avonex costs? Wow! 4 needles per box at what cost now? You could buy a new car every year for that kind of money spent yearly on these drugs.

I delivered the meds to my nurse from the local MD. I did NOT want to be the direct one to hand over the meds. I too like Erin worry that if this girl has the IPIR she will blame the way I stored the meds. They arrived cold, and immediatly went into the fridge and havent come out. When I used it, I would pull out ONE needle at a time. I double checked the packaging and exp date before I turned it over. Now, if something goes wrong, she will have to call shared solutions or the nurse, and not me. isnt that silly? I too was happy to pass it on, instead of throwing out more than 12k worth of drugs. Thats just silly. This girl is paying $340 per month or 10% of what the drug costs as a co pay! eeeek!

Thanks for all the support.
