Hi Angela ~ If your neurologist has dx'd you with MS, they call him and tell him you want to be on medication, NOW.  Have you checked on line to see the different types that there are? Search a comparison of MS injectables and there should be several that will tell you the difference.  Esentially, they are same and the difference would be your preference on needle size, if you want intramuscular or sub-cutaneous...just under the skin...these have autojects to deliver the med so you don't have to directly use the syringe.  I hope this gets you started.  I personally started on Rebif.  It has an autojet, is taken three times a week...Mon., Wed., Fri. and is easy to remember.  It does have to be refrig.  After 3 years, I began having bad site reactions and had to quit it.  I then went to Betaseron.  I love it.  No refrigeration, it has an autojet, and is taken every other day.  It seems to be whatever suits your life style.  Good Luck.  I am very curious about what is going on with your neuro not putting you on medication right away.  That is totally contrary to all neuro practice.  I question your neuro's reliability and you might want to too.  I think I'd get my medication and start shopping if you know what I mean.  Willow
