Thanks LULU for that link. It really helped!
"Did your doctor just hand you the packets and tell you to pick one? "
Hi Lulu,
No he did not do that. I am still having my workup, but we did discuss the medicine.
Hi Jenny,
The truth is all of the CRAB's work about the same and the choice you have to make depends on your personal preferences. Copaxone is one class of drug while Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron are all interferons.
The British UK site has one of the best walk-throughs on picking a drug that I have seen. It discusses in depth each DMD and its side-effects and injection schedule/technique. Just pretend you live in the UK and spend about 45 minutes working through their presentation and you will feel so much smarter.
