Another question of the century that I really believe no one has the answer to but my experience has been that my MRI has stayed stable for the last 6 years but my symptoms haven't.

I have been on Rebif and now Copaxone in those 6 years so I would say they are working but not keeping new sx at bay for me.

I dunno. I"m on rebif, and still get those. All of the above, then some, but I haven't lost anything major since the rebif. I'm an oddball. My flairs use to leave me with something permanent each time. Now it seems like they aren't as severe, and sometimes I recover. Now heat..well, that's another story. I feel like I'm gonna die after being out in the heat, and always recover fully.

I don't think rebif can help with just plain ms symptoms. I just call it a flair when something major stops working right, and stays like that for 48 hours or more with no let up. Others have told me I let it get too far before I call it a flair, so who knows.

Since there is no medication that will stop your MS from progressing, just having more symptoms/problems doesn't mean the medication is not working. Even your Doctor doesn't know, even if they say they do.
