Natalie,
Do you do the Chinese stuff year round, or only when you think you're getting sick?

I was just on Cipro in 2007 (I would have been on Rebif or Avonex at that time) and it worked fine.

I've done 5 days of Levaquin, and still don't feel great. I have a call in to see what cultured, but haven't heard back yet. I don't know if the Levaquin is making me just ache all over, or if it is part of the UTI or whatever is going on. I'm just ready to feel better.

On the Copaxone front, I did the first injection last night and it went all right. I have been so down since getting off of Ty, and just grouchy about the whole C thing, that I figured I'd just get the first one done and maybe I'd perk back up.

It did seem to help a little to get that first one done. It didn't hurt at all, the needle is so small. But after the needle was pulled out, then it started to burn a little, and my leg started spazzing a little. It all was over in under 5 minutes. I guess I can live with that.

Now I just need to try the autoinjector, because my DH is going to Dallas for a week in April and I'm going to have to give the injections myself. I did a few of the A and R ones way back, but I have a mental block with it now that I'm just going to have to get over!

Thanks for your concern everyone. I always know it is safe to come here and tell everyone my sorrows!
