Wow after reading your horror stories I guess I should count my blessings. I started Copaxone 5 years ago right after diagnosis. My MRIs are stable, or as stable as an imperfect process can be and I don't have any issues with the injections other than local site reactions and some dents in my legs.

As for my daily MS I'm still able to work like a dog but I'm tired all the time when I'm not working and need about 10 hours of sleep each night. Have times of minor nerve pain, paresthesia, increasing bladder issues and some bowel urgency, yippee.

I'm too afraid not to work as much as I do because I think not having the income I am used to would actually be more stressful for me than working is. Sucks that at 45 I should even have to worry about this kind of *****.
