Well, i have 2 more days of the oral steroids the only improvement has been in my soine where it hurt, but aside from that everything else is still there. The copaxone I have seen nothing new other than the ON getting worse. And i am looking for a new neuro. i too will be checking into Vit C. Another friend of mine suggested aloe juice. It is supposed to help with the swelling, she works for a holistic doctor who swears it works. I figure it is worth a try. I mean it can't be any worse than the daily injections.
