I failed off of Beta due to a severe increase in liver enzymes. The MD said he "may" be willing to look at Avonex for me, but doubted I would survive on it, since my liver was so unhappy on Beta.

The C is not making me happy, but the side effects I guess can be survived.

I cant take LDN because of the narcotics I am on.

Rebif is an interferon, and the liver enzyme issues would stop me from getting it.

The only one left would be Tysabri. I would require a port since I have horrific access, and wouldnt survive the poking.

I am going to try to just take the next few days a bit easier than I have been. I need to be kinder to myself. I get one more week off of this med, and then we will have to decide if the side effects outweigh the benefits, or if the side effects are tolerable enough to keep going.

I HATE THIS FREAKING DISEASE!
