Sara, and inteferon side effects.....Re: (unknown)

[Guest guest]

He does work full time, and yes the issues that come with MS are a drag in of

it's self but those side effect in addition make it even more difficult thus he

threw in the towel for the moment. My role as a spouse to support and encourage,

I can't make him do... and since he is a slow mover in terms of getting things

done the process drags on and on. I spoke with him over the weekend with regards

to the concerns of him having a flair up and the impact that would make on our

family, we discussed looking for a new neuro and the idea of looking into

another form of medication, he agrees, he thinks it's all a good plan but when

will we see action I dont know?
