I'm glad you got answers, Thumper, but sorry for the DX.. We are all in the same boat, here, just paddling along at different speeds.

I was on Avonex and then Copaxone for about a year....the shots were a breeze..er..after awhile. I was lucky and had no site reactions with Copaxone or side effects.... I hope you're as lucky and it works to keep you stable.

I'm glad you are here ..and we are here for you, too..
