I have been certain since the day I was randomized that I am on one of the doses of the drug and not the placebo; this has been borne out by the fact that my health has improved to the degree that I have returned to work and have a full and mostly healthy life now. I agree with you completely about reacting to the news of this new side effect. To be able to live largely without the constant fear of having an MS attack is totally worth the risk of side effects from the new drug, in my opinion. I'd rather live less long, but well, than live for a long time with the threat of MS attacks hanging over me all the time.Anne Groombridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494165299489900151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889592646404303255.post-83549685962516383122009-04-19T04:11:00.000-04:002009-04-19T04:11:00.000-04:00Hey, Fingohead!!
