My wife has been on Avonex since March 1999 and she's never had any worse sideeffects than the usual aches and cold symptoms that have been predicted.
Each patient is unique and side effects will vary from one to another.

However, I still suffer from the sensory, coordination, bladder and sexual problems. I have just been prescribed gabapentin for my neuropathy. After meeting with four different neurologists, one is of the opinion that I should take MS therapies to prevent future relapses. Even though he says I do not have MS, he calls it a clinically isolated syndrome. Since my brain MRI is abnormal, he suggests that my risk of really having MS is extremely high. I just wanted to ask if your neurologists recommended taking interferon beta or copaxone therapies? The side effects are pretty horrendous and I am really concerned about quality of life, but at the same time, I don't want to have another episode and be paralyzed permanently. I would greatly appreciate any feedback on experiences, side effects, etc. Thanks, Kelly Jean
