Hi Amy, I'm so sorry to hear the news about Copaxone and the doctor misreading the film. That happened to me once too--I had my first appointment with the neurologist at a big MS clinic and she had put the wrong films up and started discussing them. What she was saying made no sense to me at all...I thought I was having cognitive problems until my husband noticed on the film in the lower corner that it was someone else's name. She had to go find my films and bring them back and start over. Needless to say, she was embarassed. Sounds like your doctor just had a mixup with Amys. But I know it is extremely upsetting and I am sorry you thought you had good news and then suddenly got the bad news.

I couldn't tolerate Copaxone (systemic side effects) and the interferons put my depression into a tailspin in only 2 1/2 weeks on them. So I went to Tysabri. It is an overwhelming prospect to go on a much stronger scarier drug but it has helped me so much and I'm glad I made the choice to try this. Good luck with your decision for a new drug and I hope you feel better soon.
