I'm taking Copaxone. It's an injectible medication that's supposed to reduce the number of MS exacerbations (flares) that a person gets a year. Except for having to stab myself with a needle everyday, and the occasional weird symptom that the MS likes to bother me with, I think I'm living a fairly normal life...well, what passes for normal for me at least.

I dont have problems walking... I do occasionally have some vision weirdness (fuzzy vision sometimes) and sometimes I'll have numbness in a few weird places, but it's not that bad so far. I hope that it's going to stay "not bad" till I'm somewhere in my late 90's.
