Hello,

Another new member! Was given diagnosis 4-25-2005. Optic neuritis
back in Dec. 2004, 3 MRI's later, have 1 active lesion on spine & 1
active on brain. Was told like some other's I've read on here to pick between
ABC's.I was thinking of Betaseron & was wondering if there were opinion's out
there ~ good or bad??? Or any other option's that are preferred.

TIA - KT
