i used copaxone for 10 yrs. i did the daily injection. i rotated all the sites & tolerated it well. i wasn't a good candidate for the interferons.

i was dx'd at 53 & was very stable. my neuro said i could stop it & i've now been off several yrs & tolerating that well. i've been very lucky. i've had my challenges but am stable. the main reason i wanted to stop was because i had to use insulin & competing for sites was too difficult.

everyone's MS is different. keep bugging your dr for answers to your Q's. all you can do is try & see how it works out. be your own best advocate. stay informed & you'll make the right decisions.
