Sue, going on and staying on one of the MS drugs is a very big decision.

I was on Avonex, then Copaxone for five years, and now I've been on Betaseron for almost three years. While on Beta, my neuro does bloodwork, checking my liver function. So far, my liver is doing fine.

I still worry about injecting a drug into myself, even though Betaseron has been around the longest. My DH would like to see me stop the med, because he doesn't think it's helping.

I'm starting to agree with him, because I've developed some serious symptoms (tremors) that are getting worse, and because my neuro says that I'm probably now SPMS, and I myself don't believe the DMD's help once you are progressive.

Everyone is different. You have to weigh the pros and cons, and then decide for yourself what you want to do.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.
