So excited... - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

I just had my 6 mo visit with my neuro today. My last MRI was in Aug. He showed me the films and it is so obvious that there was "remarked improvement." There were many lesions last year, this yr there is only one clearly visible with the naked eye (to me). The Avonex is doing its job. It is preventing new lesions and helping my immune system so my brain can heal itself. I am so happy. Granted, it isn't cured, but it isn't advancing either. One yr down, many to go.

Hey, Congratulations! I'm overdue for an MRI, but I've just moved from Seattle to Scottsdale and am still dealing with a million little things- like finding a job

It always feels so great when we see that the actions we're taking actually have the hoped-for beneficial effects. Good for you!!!

What a wonderful way to end the year.

I am glad to hear the Avonex is working, that is what I take also.

Was is the best to leave the dr's office feeling positive ?

I am very happy for you, I think you got the best Christmas gift ever!!
