Hi all I’m starting Beta Interferon in a couple of weeks and I’m curious to know how effective users have found DMDs to be? I’d like to hear the negative stories as well as the positive. I’ve already made my mind up to use it, I’d just like some insight as to how effective others have found it. Best wishes Kaz xx
I have been on Rebif for years and though I used to have at least two relapses a year, I only have one every five years or so now and even that one isn’t as serious as they used to be. Some people get bad reactions with their Rebif, such as flu like symptoms, but so far I haven’t had any. Rebif is a 100% success for me. Best of luck with your DMD choice,

I did well on Avonex for the best part of 10 years. After that, my MS got too aggressive for the Avonex to cope and I ended up on Tysabri. I started DMDs in 2000 and consider myself very lucky that I have always had access to DMDs to help slow my MS down and give me the best available chance.
I hope that you do well too, and that the medication keeps your MS quiet.

I just wish I had started Copaxone 6 months earlier (when it was first offered to me).
I calculate that I would have had at least three less relapses (and perhaps 5 less0.

Thank you for all of your responses I hope I will have such positive results. Kaz xx
