Default I think I am laying down my needles

and I dont mean knitting.

I have been off and on several of the MS meds, and have struggled with them all. I have been on Copaxone for the last 3 years. While I am on it, I am tired, confused, disoriented, exhausted, have horrible skin issues, extraordinary dry eyes, mouth sores, dents, fat destruction, lumps, bumps, and bruises, and lets not even mention that I am feeling like the cure is worse than the disease.

After much research, prayer, and investigation I have come to the conclusion that I am ready to ride bareback thru the world of MS. ALL of my MDs have advised me to keep shooting. They even went so far as to freak out my DH about how much of a gamble it is to lay the needle down. I have included him in the research, and he said "hmm..all of the listed side effects that YOU have, are found on the list of things this shot can cause. no wonder you feel so lousy." Wahoo! I got thru to him!

So, I am tired, I am frustrated, I am tired of being tired, and I am sick of being sick. Doing without the meds, cant be as hard as doing it with the meds.

What say the rest of you? am I crazy? or just fed up?
