Updating on what's been going on with me. Mostly, because I haven't updated, but also because some changes are being made and MS Awareness Week was March 2-8. :)

  • Hello, I am on Betaseron this is the same type of medication as Rebif because it is an interferon. I also have depression but I take an anti-depressant so that helps. The injection site reactions with Betaseron haven't been that bad and as long as I take advil about an hour before I inject I feel just fine. It has worked well for me so far. It has been about a year now. Good luck with everything!

  • Good luck with your decision. I am taking Copaxone every day - would that be an option for you as opposed to 5X/week?

  • Doesnt Copaxone take almost 1 year to start working? Does your dr feel that the disease will progress too much to wait and see?

  • Thank you for the new video. I was wondering how you'd been doing. I actually stopped taking my Copaxone, for different reasons (well, the site reactions were horrible). I just don't believe in my case of MS that the DMD's provide me a benefit. I'm managing with diet/exercise and managing my pain with other drugs.

  • be aggressive with the medicines. look at tysabri. also check out a youtube video by holly huber about stem cells. good luck.

  • hey thanks for the update, i'm new here! Just wanted to say I'm on Betaseron and although I only just started my doc said that the depression thing is an unlikely side effect. I suffered from major clinical depression in my teens so I was a bit cautious but as he says the immunotherapy is stressful and having the disease is stressful and it's quite possible the depression that people experience is often caused by that rather than the actual medicine. Good luck with making your decision. F
