I was also diagnosed in 2007.

I took Copaxone for two years and still had exacerbations. Quit taking Copaxone last year, and...still having exacerbations.

I'm kind of starting to think my neuro is jinxing me. He's told me a couple of times that I was in remission, and it seems like when he mentions the remission word, I end up having a new flare about a week later. That happened in April. I was fine, went to see him for a regular checkup, got told I was in remission, and within like five days I was numb over 75% of my body and was having problems walking and in serious pain from the spasticity.

That flare wont let go of it...it does something new about every 6 weeks now.

Next time I see the neuro, I'm going to tell him to never mention the remission word ever again, even if I dont have a flare for another five years, I never want to hear the word "remission" again because it apparently ticks off the MS trolls in my head and makes them start causing problems.
