I had one dose before they took it off the market.  When it came back on the 
market they had changed the protocol and I no longer qualify.  I take Rebif and 
I am pretty much stable on that.  I still have attacks but they are less severe 
and I can tolerate the drug....so   according to the protocol they do not 
recommend a change.  

That doesn't stop them from sending me their pricey propaganda every month.

I sure was excited when I started on it when it first came out.  I was glad to 
be rid of the shots and the once a month infusion seemed like cake.   Oh well.  

Once they get some good stats piled up maybe they will ease up on the protocol.

Having said all that....if I could choose between the Betaseron (started on 
that in 2001), the Rebif (switched to that when the FDA got around to approving 
it) or the Tysabri..... I would pick the Tysabri.   I have never done the 
Avonex but for me that Betaseron was nasty and the Rebif is easier to tolerate.
