Erin, this made me smile. My husband used to tell me that it was "all in my head" After the diagnosis...I said, well, I guess you were right. It IS all in my head! It's our little joke now.

Thumper - I am new to this website too. Welcome. You are so smart to be asking questions. I waited until NOW. They want to switch my medication from Avonex to Copaxone. Last week I met Rochelle (twinkletoes) and she uses LDN. I had never heard of LDN. There is so much to learn and lots of decisions. I'm excited to have new friends with great advice and experiences to share.

As you are deciding what to do, I learned from Cherie that the interferons (Avonex, Rebif, Betaseron) can worsen depression (did not know that) My guess is that is why your doctor wants you to look at Copaxone (not an interferon)

Good luck and keep us informed, it helps everyone when we talk about it.
