Confused Primary Progressive MS and Copaxone???

I am still trying to learn about MS, but there is so much information that it is quite overwhelming. My new Dr. feels strongly that I have Primary Progressive MS and suggests I try Copaxone. From what I have read, it sounds like Copaxone is more helpful for Relapsing Remitting MS...

I'd love to hear from others with Primary Progressive and what have your experiences been. I live near Minneapolis and am looking for a Dr. that has some personality, because so far I have been seen by two neurologists and have not felt so comfortable with either one.
