Soon as I had it removed, the relapse let up ... although I was left with some numbness/damage from that one.
Do you have spinal lesions that you are aware of?
If you have the option to take Copaxone too, why not do that? Double protection is a good thing, right?

Cherie, the progression (of numbness) has been slow and steady for the past year. I don't think I have an infection, but how do you know for sure? Do they draw a blood sample or what?
When I got dxd in 2007, the only lesion was a marble-sized one on my cervical spine.
I just don't know about starting up Copaxone or any of the DMDs. I lack confidence in their ability to actually halt/slow progression. I just wish there were more clear answers.
I was all ready to make an appt. with a neuro for an MRI, then I had a conversation with an MSer who said she hadn't had one in 30 years!
So I don't know if I really need one. So confewzed.
