Sorry about your flare, Red.
2008 has been a rough year for me, too. 2 exacerbations, both of which involved hospitalizations of 1-3 weeks.
Loss of a job (3rd job loss since 2002, due to MS), and beginning of disability payments. I'm grateful that I was approved quickly for SSDI, but it's not where I wanted my life to be at age 46.
Switched from Betaseron to Copaxone, because Betaseron was not effective for me. I hate Copaxone. Lots of side effects, including site reactions, burning, pain, etc.
I guess we'll both keep on fighting, OK?
