When I first asked my doc about the drug, he was very unimpressed with it and urged me to continue with the shots. He thought the drug a bit dangerous. HMMMM

That's the issue with these medications. We all know we're playing guinea pig. :(

I'm glad, karilann, that the shots are working for you, and your doctor gave his honest opinion about the medication (which I haven't looked into, but I imagine carries a heavier price tag than the DMDs).
