Hi Lisa!

Sorry to hear you've been having issues since April.

Glad to hear you're calling the neuro. Always a good deal when something new comes up. Was wondering how long you've been on the Copax? My neuro wants an MRI every 6 months for now to see if it's still working.

This has been a very rough summer for me. But the MRI I had in August showed no changes, so it's been the heat and humidity causing my MS fun.

Copax takes 3 - 9 months to start being effective. I had my last flare ( after 2 years of back to back ones) 3 months into treatment. The MS specialist on staff said that was not unusual, especially with my track record of flares. Since then, I've been pretty stable.

I retain about 75% of my flare symptoms, and am still RRMS. During the flare, the symptoms are constant. When the flare is over, most of the symptoms come and go.

I have two constant symptoms and one symptom that fully remitted. Everything else is in my MS grab bag that my body picks stuff out of each day. Never boring.
