[edit] NPOV dispute
These drugs have some awful side-effects which make them undesirable to many relapsing-remitting MS sufferers who can otherwise tolerate their symptoms. For patient reports you might look here [1] and here [2]. Whig (talk • contribs)
While these drugs do have side effects, these effects diminsh in time. The alternative is to not use them, allow the disease to progress and possibly leave you a crippled, disease ravaged invalid. While not perfect, these medications are the best and only line of defense against a horrible illness. As someone that is currently on Avonex, I can say that after three years of therapy, the worst part of the treatment is the needle! The side effects have become a non-issue. A slight headache is all that I experience and this can be eliminated by simply taking Advil, Tylenol or Alieve prior to taking the injection.
