Hi Lou ~ I was diagnosed in 1989 as well. Progression was slow for the first
several years but I tried Avonex for a year. I didn't respond to it very well.
Had flu-like symptomsmost of the time. Chose not to continue as I ended up
relying on a wheelchair. I try to exercise with a Theracycle and chair arobics,
etc. If the meds work for some, I'm happy for them. I think I'll continue to
treat the symptoms and thank the Lord for every day, good or bad :>).

Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope you are doing okay!

Warmth and Peace,
