HELLO!! I'm new here!! I am from Washington State!!
I have been using
Avonex
since the beginning. I know there is other meds, but this works for me. I am proud that I am still working. I drive a great big yellow school bus!! Sometimes it's hard to walk to my bus and climbing the steps, but I keep on going because I love this job.

Diagnosed in 1987 three years after my PhD defense and beginning R&D in biotechnology Industry.
After 2000 I started taking
Avonex
with the same hope, then after switch to Tysabri which I just discontinued this year of 2018, and now I'm back on Avon again. I continue to have difficulty maintaining my concentration.

Beware of nose sprays
So after 3 doctors I had to figure out myself that i was having major issues with my non steroid nose spray. I went off of it and went back to Nasonex. What an improvement! My mouth is getting back to normal now. So thankful! But my ENT had my sinuses scanned. He found a cyst or polyp and now I have

To inject or not to inject? That is the question!!!
I started taking the
Avonex
injections per doctors advice. I took them for 9 months and my insurance was cancelled. At 10,500./mo. I could not afford to pay out of pocket. After 7 Months I was enrolled a in a free drug program and I was back on the
Avonex
faithfully for over a year.

Is it safe to take nasonex, rhinocort or any antihistamine tablet with ramipril?
Iโm on low dose of ramipril and suffer from gord ( acid reflux) and chronic sinuses. I was on nexium for my reflux 40mg and I got bad side effect so now suffering wit that coz it all interacts with rampiril. I have read somewhere Rhinocort can elevate bp? I want to take antihistamine for my allergies

Changed DMD need advice
Switched DMD fron
Avonex
to Extavia. Overall tolerating change pretty well. The biggest side effect is injection site turns vivid red, no heat, no itching, no swelling. Is this a normal side effect?

Restless leg syndrome??
Hi everyone. I am a 39 year old female. And think I might be suffering restless leg syndrome? It is more my feet than my legs which are bothering me. I don't get this every night. But when I do my feet feel very uncomfortable with a creeping crawling feeling . And I am unable to keep them still.

Nasal Spray
Just picked-up a repeat prescription from my GPs for a Nasal Spray - Mometasone (50micrograms). I always use the same pharmacy and have been dispensed 'Nasonex' against the previous 2 prescriptions. Now they say they cannot dispense 'Nasonex' and have given me 'Mometasone Furoate', which they say is

Secondary Progressive

Avonex
. Have been told by doctor that we are now looking at Secondary Progressive. He is not yet changing Medication and I have next appointment in Jan 2018. Currently on

Avonex
is not a correct Medication.
