Oh Sassy, I am so sorry you have still having those darn IPIRs....I am glad that the doc is seeing you ASAP...nothing to fool around with.
I know that some people have done well switching to Rebif from Avonex...but they are the same drug...just different doses...Rebif is sub q injection 3 times a week as opposed to the IM Avonex once a week...so maybe with it being sub q you will tolerate it better... Betaseron might be an option as well. It's a different formulation of an interferon...sub q injection every other day...something to consider. Having talked to the research doc about the melanoma issue and Tysabri...it's your decision. I know that a lot of people are panicking about it...but it's just like PML...and I am not going to go into it here as I am not on it and it's no use in me even having this discussion with you. Do your own research Sassy...  Good luck with your appt tomorrow.
