I just had my latest MRI on Friday and if it shows any active inflamation, my neuro wants to start me on imuran. After doing some research on this drug, it's efficacy, and potential side effects (not pleasant), I do not want to take it as this time. There does not seem to be any consensus on whether it helps or not, and it is considered a chemotherapy drug. I have not had an attack since my first one last spring, and my ms (symptom wise) seems to be stable.

I know I may be worried about nothing. Hopefully, my MRI will not show any active inflamation, but I am trying to figure out how to deal with him if I do have changes. I know I have the right to say no, but I keep doubting myself. Maybe I should follow his recommendation ... How is he going to react if I refuse to follow his advice?
