Like Cherie, I am the only one in my very large family with MS.

I was dx'd in 2001 after an acute exacerbation in December of 2000 followed by another acute exacerbation in March of 2001. I had 2 MRIs, VEP, and an LP that confirmed the dx of MS.

I started on Betaseron in May of that year. Stayed on it until December of '04 when Tysabri was released. Then I switched to Copaxone, which I was intolerant to.

I am now in a clinical trial for Tovaxin. It's a double blind study so I don't know if I am receiving placebo or the real thing. Tomorrow is my last day in the trial.

I am stable right now, the exacerbations have slowed from 4 a year to 2
