hi, my brother is diagnosed with MS since 1 year ago. first his doctor startet with Avonex then after 5 months due to my brother suggestion his doctor changed it to Betaferon (without any check ups) so it’s been 1 month that he’s using Betaferon.. now my brother read something about Novanferon and told his doctor about this medicine and his doctor wants to change it to Novanferon!!!
my brother condition is likely o.k .. I read about Novanferon and I realized that Novanferon side effects are totally harmful so I was wondering what should we do?

if your brother has all the information i guess its ultimately his decision. my dr. doesn’t use it because of its severe side effects.

Hello. My boyfriend has MS & is going to have to start paying for the Avonex himself. How much is it? If anyone can help me that would be great. Thanks!

Hi

I would suggest that your brother continues with the Betaferon ... and then goes out to buy some patience! :-)

I’ve been on Betaferon for 6 months now and have been incredibly lucky to start having some progression ... it’s very slow ... but it’s progression of my physical state and I’m just so grateful!!

As per the previous post though, it IS his choice.

Best of luck ...

Must say, i agree... give it a chance, it takes more then a month! He will hear about something else and wanna try that, never really giving himself a chance to let it work. We all looking for what is better, always looking for answers, and we need to have faith there will be, but in the meantime, we need to be patient.... but, it is his choice, just my opinion.
