I have been on Avonex for 23 years. I have not had any new symptoms or lesions in that amount of time. The efficacy of the drug after this length of time and my age of 67 I feel I’m aged out and OK to go off of the Avonex anyone else’s thoughts about this or have done the same thing

Does anyone else start losing their voice when they're stressed out or not feeling good?

I've noticed that whenever I feel stressed, I start losing my voice. It starts breaking and talking starts to take so much energy, I have to really push the words out. Does anyone else experience this?

Does it increase the risk of infections quite a lot? Side effect profiles? Have heard that it can reduce the Ig (immunoglobulin) levels quit...

I had another lumbar puncture and blood tests but I am cautious about taking meds especially since I have m.s and myeloma. No one has taken my symptoms seriously and I don't know what to think. I have lived with.s since December 2018 and I have treated it but not the cancer. I don't want to treat the cancer
