Thanks for the kind welcomes! It's weird...I don't feel like I'm in remission because I'm just now putting together my symptoms as MS...I just turned 36 and have lived in Seattle for 1 yr after relocating from CA for work. Like I said, I've only been on Cop for 1 week but I really hope it continues to go well. The reason for being on meds now is the location and size of one of my lesions - it concerned the doc so I started on meds as soon as I could. I feel very lucky to live in a place with so many MS clinics and researchers!
