Hi Keri,

You "sound" so much more upbeat and undefeated since you've had this treatment. I still remember the months prior . . . and there is a huge difference in "our" Keri. I'm so happy for you, and I wish you continued success.

Now, what happens if you do not adjust to Copaxone? From what I recall, everyone who goes through HiCy/Revimmue is supposed to hop onto Copaxone after that. There must be some people that don't do well with this med . . . so then what? Will they rx an interferon, or ?

What I find interesting about this approach is that drugs like Tysabri are generally supposed to be recommened for people who do not do well on the standard therapies . . . and there are people like you that were approved for Tysabri on that basis. I know you hadn't tried the CRABs for long anyway, but what you tried included Copaxone, and it didn't "appear" to agree with you. Ironically, now you have to go back on it after Revimmune anyway.

HiCy/Revimmune is something I would seriously consider if my MS was very aggressive . . . but I wouldn't want to go on Copaxone after that. No offense against Copaxone, I just would (personally) prefer to not use a CRAB on an ongoing basis. How long do you have to stay on it, and what if you find you CAN'T take it?

All the best for continued success.

Cherie
