5 Months

Tomorrow I have an appointment with my neurologist. I just see her twice a year as follow-ups now. Actually its been that way for a couple of years. In preparation I've been analyzing where I am physically compared to where I was last time I saw her. Part of me thinks I'm about the same, perhaps a little worse. Maybr I think a little worse because I'm so hard on myself. I did look back and realized I've been on Rebif (an MS medication) for 5 months now. I do feel since starting the medication I've allowed myself a chance to get better. The medications' goal is to slow the progression of the disease. Perhaps I can even get a little better over time. I'll see what my doc sees tomorrow.

What medication, if any, were you on before Rebif?

Tracy, Rebif is the first medication I've been on. Years of thinking I had something other than MS I didn't take anything. Do u have MS?

Tracy said...

yes, I have had it officially for 11 years now. When I got pregnant with Haddon, I stopped taking the meds. I was on copaxone. Then, I went almost 7 years in complete remission. I have recently had a relapse and am debating which treatment to take. I was on Avonex first, for a year, and then on Copaxone for almost 3.
