What in the world is CRABS? I have been trying to figure it out but to no avail.....

Tiarah, there are 4 primary drugs used to treat MS, I believe they are all called "disease modifying" drugs. I am not on any of them, but read the explanation here - Coxopane(?), Rebif(?), Avonex and Betaserone(?). Question marks are because I don't know if I got them right! Someone will need to correct my "pop quiz" - LOL.

Well okay, now THAT makes sense, why I couldn't figure that out is beyond me. Thanks!!!!!

I have been on Avonex for more than a year and it took ME a good week to figure out what CRABS meant! ha!
