Rebif v Betaferon

Hi, I was diagnosed with MS just over 2 weeks ago. I was given the option of 6 treatments. I then narrowed it down to three: 1) rebif, 2) tecfidera and 3) betaferon. I just ruled out tecfidera because of the link to PML. From your own experience would you recommend rebif or betaferon? They both seem similar. I found information saying that betaferon actually imoroves the immune system while rebif weakens it. This could be wrong, but if it isn't I think betaferon would be a better choice as the drugs seem very similar and I would rather not get sick as much.

Hi @phillip. sorry I replied about my friends experiences with these two on the other forum before I realised this one was here! Just re the information about betaferon improving the immune system and rebif weakening it, I hadnt heard this myself but just asked my MS nurse whether it was actually the case so Ill let you know what she comes back with!

@pudding11 thank you :) That would be great. I probably picked it up wrong. Can't remember where I read it now
