My New Neurologist mentioned that I go from Tysabri to Plegridy. Can anyone tell me their experience with this therapy?

I'm on Avonex and a year ago my Neuro mentioned Plegridy as a new option for me. I did my due diligence on the drug and we discussed it again 6 months ago. He advised that he was no longer comfortable transitioning me to the drug.

@A MyMSTeam Member I'm on Plegridy and JC+. It is an interferon and relatively new so I don't know if it will be recommended. I started it 3 months ago as my first DMT. The biweekly injection fits my current lifestyle, but it is too early to really know how well it works for me.
