Linda,

  I was on one a couple of years ago called Rituxan (sp?) It was not approved for MS yet but I got it under the dx of RA. I thought it was helping my MS slow down until I ended up with auto-immune hemolytic anemia.

  I was in the hospital for blood transfusions and was quite sick for months before they could get my red blood cells back.

Last I heard it was one of the meds making it's way through the trials to be released. I hope that anyone changing over to a "new" med does some homework first because I worry that the "side effects" will be awful.

Get some rest - I hope your flare goes quickly

Erin :)

I was at the neuro's office last wednesday the 4th.  I mentioned how i hated taking avonex       (I'm getting tired of the big needle)  It's been well over 10 years or more, I stopped counting the years   As i was leaving she mentioned   (the PA)  there  is a new chemo drug comming out.  I was so  over whelmed i did not think to ask what it was.  I am in an attack right now and have to rest.   Tthank you your response and I hope you are doing ok
