Hi Sassy!

I am also sorry that you facing this problem. As you may know I have been through betaseron, copaxone, and tysabri all in one year. The reactions that I was having to copaxone were also considered out of the norm -- whatever that means. I had lower back pain with a few of mine in addition to all of the other problems plus cold chills and shaking. If you can handle the copaxone and if you and your neuro think it is working, I would consider staying on it for now. Perhaps you could consider the every other day option that was suggested. I remember reading one study that suggested that it was just as effective.

There are alot of unknowns with tysabri, and you could always reconsider it in the future. I have made the decision to take nothing for now, but my next alternative will probably be either be imuran or cellcept. Perhaps you could discuss these with your neuro. The MS center that I went to in St. Louis said that these are alternatives being used for those that cannot tolerate the other treatments.
