Yes there are similarities. But MS generally takes months or even years to diagnose because other conditions need to be ruled out first.
I'm sorry you took Avonex for 3 years and suffered side effects. I don't know what you mean about an air bubble (which would kill you almost instantly), nor about lab-rat medicine, since it's derived from human interferon proteins. Not that I don't think any drug should be taken if not needed, and you should be angry, and I can see calling all of them lab-rat medicine.
Talk to a law firm who specializes in medical malpractice if you want. They will know pretty quickly whether they want to take your case on contingency or not. It sounds a little iffy, but I don't know. Malpractice has to be serious error or negligence, and the doctor can claim that it really appeared to be MS to him. AND can even claim that there is no proof that you aren't slowly getting MS. But check it out.
