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.
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%.
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.
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.
