I have had MS for about 2 years. Have been on Avonex, but having too many flare ups lately. Every month is seems. They are planning on changing my meds, what seems to work for everyone. Has anyone been on Avonex and changed. Did your new meds work better?

My daughter has had MS for 10 years and has Relapsing MS with no interruption of symptoms, she swears by Avonex even though it makes her sick weekly. She is still on her feet and walking. She says if you would like to contact her, you may by email. Let me know through this board. She believes sticking with this has kept her lesions on her brain increasing.

There is no MS drug that works for everyone. I sure wish there was one. My girlfriend started out on Avonex and then switched to Copaxone. I started out on Copaxone and then switched to LDN. Low Dose Naltrxone works for me and she is doing better on Copaxone. I do hope you find something that keeps your flare-ups in check. Good luck!
