Sandy,

I think I have been so blessed over all these years to have had such a slow progression of my MS. I think I had a false sense of security that I wouldn't get worse and had to believe that because the other doctor's didn't want me on the MS drugs. They didn't know what to do with me.

As I have said many times, my Neuro is just the greatest and if she thinks I need to be on Avonex, I'm going to take the shots. She said even though it has been a slow progression that it could change it's course at any time and was not worth the risk of doing nothing.

I'm glad I'm set for a year with the Access Program and as I understood them, they will continue to provided it to me from now on. ACS was trying to find funding for Medicare D and could not find any for me. It was a waste of time because I told them many times that I did not have any money for a copay.

Hugs to You GBA\BFF

Glad the Avonex is good to go for this year. Sheesh, that other place was a pain and it's a shame you had to do the leg work.

Hugs GO!
Sandy
