I have just been diagosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I am 29 yrs old and a single mother of a 9 and 2 year old. I am scared and my neurologist just gave me the diagnosis and prescription for Avonex. I have so many questions but I did not get a chance to ask because I was still in shock. Do I have to take the medicine? Has anyone had any luck treating your self the natural way? Why Avonex? Why not copazone? I have several booksto read I just want to hear from real live people tt have gone through what I am going through.
