Avonex and other DMD

[bettebelle]

Hello Everyone :)
I haven't been around on the forum or a while due to a string of horrible bad luck, but things are starting to look up so here I am :). I have a question about DMDs I have been on Avonex now for 5 weeks and have noticed a huge difference in my muscle spasms.  It's as if the off switch got flipped! I went from having them literally 24/7 literally. My neuro said she hadn't really seen anything quite that severe she could see muscle spasms everywhere during my exams. Well I'm glad to report that randomly after nearly four years of constant muscle spasms they have greatly subsided. I now have so few I can actually count them in a day. So this is my question, could Avonex be the reason why they have subsided?
Thanks and hope all is well!

Bettebelle!

Wow! Since DMDs can alter the disease course, it's my opinion that anything is possible. Though most I've read about all the DMDs is it takes a few months for full affects. But, either way, so happy you've had a bit of a cease fire, and only experiencing random.

Must feel so good! Enjoy every minute of this!

Nice to see you :)

I do not know whether Avonex is the reason, but CONGRATULATIONS! I hope you continue to see improvement :)
