Injection Therapy

How do you determine whick injection therapy works best, by trial and error? My Neurologist gave me books on three of them: Rebif, Copaxone, and Avonex.

They all have the same success rate - 30% fewer lesions and 30% less disability.  Copaxone is a sub-cutaneous injection, so it's a smaller needle.  It's why I chose that drug over the others.  I think it's all about comfort level.

Thank you Jen! There is so much to sort through. It is a blessing to have support groups such as this one available as a resource.

You might see if you can get on a fingolimod trial - it's an oral med they're researching for MS, and so far it has a higher success rate.  I think it's about 50%.

Ok, I will ask about it.
