copaxone may be well tolerated by most people but some folks do have SE's. and that might be you. you know your body best and if you want to try something else your dr should be open to that.

know this is just my personal opinion. but, i believe strongly in taking an MS med. i've heard too many stories of folks who went yrs without problems on no meds and then all of a sudden had a terrible flare.

i believe the dr when they say that MS is a degenerative, non-curable neurological disease affecting the CNS. that's why i believe in taking a med that might prevent long term disability.

remember, this is just my opinion and that of the NMSS.
