Hi Starznight.

Just a FYI for you and others reading this thread. Betaseron was the first Disease Modifying Therapy(DMT)/Disease Modifying Drug(DMD) for the treatment of MS.

~ Betaseron was FDA approved in 1993
~ Avonex was FDA approved in 1996
~ Copaxone was FDA approved in 1997

I was 24 years old when I was diagnosed, with symptoms that went back to childhood. I was diagnosed quite some years before The DMDs/DMTs.
