Honey-this is something only you can decide for yourself..Go online and look up the REBIFF 44..
Then do the pros and cons..No matter what you do you will question was it right or wrong..We all go through hard decisions..If only there was an instruction book for us to follow..
I can't answer this question for you..I can say I am here if you want to talk..I check in time to time..PM if you like..God bless and I pray your decision what ever it be is the right one for you..kd

Look at this site..

Most of us have or are taking meds that have awful side affects..You have to choose what you are wiling to accept from a drug..

I also think you might benefit from a good councelor..Someone who is caring and knowledgeable about MS and different medications..
Best of luck honey..kd
