I started another round of Solumedral today and he is switching me from Copax to Avonex

Sorry to hear you are not doing so well.

I'm a bit surprised that he is taking you off Copaxone so soon . . . it's only been 5 months. I've always understood that the CRABs that 6 - 12 months to become effective in our system. :confused: This is probably true of most of the drugs we take.

Do you know if you have spinal lesions?

I can't give you any advise on Avonex because I don't use any of the DMD's, but I just wanted to say that I hope the steroids help.

Hi Cherie

I was suprised myself that he took me off of the Copax. He told me I had alot of progression which I kinda knew already and he wanted to get me on something else, so I just went with it I dont really care for the once a day injections and the welts that never go away from the C anywans so It was ok with me. The steroids always make me feel like I have been hit with a mack truck the first week but I know once that week is over I will be feeling much better.
