Shakeology
I have been drinking Shakeology shakes for the past couple years. This is a meal replacement shake, replacing only 1 meal a day, with over 70 vitamins and minerals.

Avonex questions
I am newly diagnosed and have chose to start Avonex. Has anyone had any issues with weight gain / loss with Avonex? My doctor said the best time to do the injection is at bedtime, so that I hopefully sleep thru any flu like symptoms. Any other tricks or input that may help?!
