Avonex...tips, Symptoms, Things To Look Out For.

Avonex didn't work for me, the flu symptoms never went away after three months, I am now on Techfidera which works for me and I have been on it two years

My neurologist filed an appeal because Gilenya was the medication her and I decided was best for me. The insurance company gave in.
Anyone Take The Drug Tecfidera And What Are There Side Effects?
