Welcome! Names of my favorite DMT's? A & R. I ran the gauntlet of the DMT's in my day. I've had M.S. for over 20 years, Oh boy! I started on Avonex, the 1-1/4" beast, ended with Rebif, with a couple in between. I spent the last 2.5 years of my DMT's with non-stop flue like symptoms. Got about 1/2 a day 3x per week, right before the next shot, where I didn't ache, shake, and live with the fever. After almost 2 decades, my neuro pulled me off all DMT's, as my history showed as he said, little benefit. I have a history of lots and lots of relapses, often more than one at a time. I can tell you stories, (or look them up on my past postings), such as the broken old TV relapse, where my vision went crazy in a unique way for about a month and a half... BUT, I'm also the success story in my part of the country according to my neuro, but not the only one. "Apparently old farts? Sometimes get a break?" We seem to have gotten over any new relapses, for me it's been over 5 years now, and I've been off of all DMT's and any other drugs (okay, except for the green leafy stuff to fight the nightly burning feet pains). Step 1, keep a positive attitude. Never give up! Even if you're the frog in the beak of the big bird, with your hands around the bird's neck so as not to be able to swallow you. Step 2, eliminate all processed food.... Okay, I went too far, unless you want to research my history via this site. Or just stick around.... I preach what I believe to be my best defense against M.S.

But, your post...DeJaVu.... The Drugs I Used To Take, to the sound of my grade school daughter, now neuroscientist gone teacher, used to play the dum, dum, dum, da dum on the piano every shot night. She hates shots to this day. Passes out at most flue shots.... A neuroscientist who studied rats, gave drugs therapy, then sliced their brains wafer thin to see how they were affected by the drugs. I can't blame here for the math geek turning teacher?

We're a fun group with history of M.S. and life. And then some more. Welcome

I'm Mark Upnorth, I hope to go west again some day. But it's fall, and it's cool, and the colors...yeah I talk too much!

Welcome you asked me about Avonex vs Ocrevus. I did the split dose of Ocrevus but I’m back on the Avonex.
