Hi Susie.
I hope you're doing well this holiday season. I am writing because my sister was diagnosed w/ MS 2 years ago, much like yourself, at a very young age of 23. She started on Avonex, switched over to Beta Seron which she receives once a month for 3 days and is now contemplating Novantron on her neurologist's advice. Please let me know how this worked out/is working out for you. I haven't done much research yet but saw your posting and thought I'd check up to see how you're doing. Thanks so much!
