I agree with what Cherie said. Do a lot more research before jumping into the Tysabri pond.

I was only diagnosed in January of 2007. (had been having issues, numbness, optic neuritis, fatigue, the occasional potty problems...since April of 2006) I didnt start my treatment (Copaxone) until September of 2007. (the injection nurse didnt contact me for about 2 months after I got my Rx)

I'm giving the C a year or two to work before I start worrying about trying a different med. I might be having a few weird transitory symptoms of numbness and vision wacky-ness right now, but I do sort of feel better since I started taking the shots. Nothing has really changed, except that I dont feel like I'm getting any new and bizzare symptoms since I started taking the C. I just have weird old symptoms cropping up occasionally. (hopefully that means my lesions are healing or at least not getting any worse)

I was panicked after getting my diagnosis. I was thinking that I was going to die or something. I even wrote up letters to my parents and my boyfriend for them to read after I died (note to self, delete those)

It'll take a little time to calm down now that you've got the diagnosis. I've finally calmed down a bit, I still panic at the drop of a hat, but I feel better now a year or so later than I did last year at this time. Weird as it sounds, I feel happier than I ever did before I got MS (that would be because of my boyfriend, not because of the MS)

If your MS symptoms are causing you a lot of difficulty, making your day-to-day activities extremely difficult, you can ask your doctor if another dose of steroids is warranted. It's the beginning of learning what symptoms you need to worry about, and the ones you can ignore (or deal with)

Look at Cherie's post again, she gave a lot of good advice (she's really good at giving advice)
