I have been on Avonex for 17 weeks now but I am still experiencing new symptoms. Especially in the past month.
My doctor had me cut my Avonex back to 1/2 about a month ago because of the side effects. I THOUGHT I had been taking half dose but found out from the pharmacist that I have actually been taking 3/4 dose. That was my fault for not understand where the half way mark is at. But at least my side effects of Avonex are becoming less even on the 3/4 dose. Anyway, I am concerned about these newest symptoms, intense leg spasms and hand spasm, even though I am on Avonex. The ON I started in January is getting better. How does a doctor decide if you have RRMS or one of the others? In the past I have had clear onset and then recovery, this time I am wondering what is going on. Thanks, LA
