Default MS

Hello I'm new. I've just started Copaxine about 8 weeks ago and was looking for any and all advice from any other members currently using the same for their MS?? I was diagnosed around 1995, but was military. I had a very hard time excepting any of it, but I truly knew something was wrong. We all know our bodies. However. I did not want to lose my job - raising 2 children then alone, but then no military Dr's would acknowledge it.

Not that I wanted it, but it was quite obvious it has a lot to do with compensation etc. well they finally retired me after 24 years. Perm. Disability, but for anxiety. I became so weak, migraines everyday, hard time getting around etc. same old thing. Finally the VA diagnosed me after ALL these years of struggling and put me on medication. I only received 30% disability pay after all my service and they never included my MS, which obviously arose during my time of service.

I'm confused and a little scared. I finally got over the huge scare; however my daughter seems to think its just a bad case of the flu or something. Many people don't or won't even try to understand that each day can be different. I can hardly move. I get extremely depressed now. But it is getting better. Any advice on anything I shared would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!! keeping the faith!!
