Jules -- Thanks for the info. :-)

Friend2U -- I've been on Beta for about 5 years. Didn 't seem to be decrasing fx or severity of flares. Most recent flare, I was hospitalized for almost 3 weeks. Also, was not keeping new lesions away on MRI's. Just didn't seem to be effective.

Started seeing an MS specialist this month, in addition to my neuro. She recommended switching. My neuro had considered it too, but she seems to be more pro-active.

I liked Beta. Every other day, instead of daily. I didn't have side effects, except for a few site reactions. But, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
