Greetings!
Just joined this forum, and am happy to report that though I was diagnosed with R/R MS in 1993,I've been very lucky and haven't had too a bad time of it.
Ten years after my diagnosis,when I had some fleeting visual disturbances , my neuro had me get my first MRI since then. He said that the progression was slight enough that it looked almost like a new case, and recommended therapy to try to keep it that way. I've been on Copaxone for 4 years,and my only real side effect has been those dam lipo atrophy site dents(arms, thighs).I know I probably should not do this, but I only shoot my butt now-- WTH, it looks like chewed bubblegum anyway (I'm 51)
As for the disease and symptoms,(though I HATE the heat and do tire occasionally)nothing really major since '93, and thus far, the Copaxone seems to be effective.
Cheers!
