I have to admit that I wasn't the best at taking the shots three times a week. I recently had a bad MRI and now my neuro wants me to swith to either copaxone, Tysabri, or gilenia. I know I can't do copaxone. If I was not good about 3 times a week I'm sure I would be a nightmare if I had to take a shot every day. I am so torn between the T and G. I would like to take the G but am worried because it just came out and because of risk of infection. Have been trying to research my options and came across this board. If anyone has any input I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,

I just stopped taking copaxone after many years, and a failure off of Betaseron. since I had a bad reaction to the Beta, I am not eligible to do Ty. I cant advise you on Galina other than to say I am hanging back and waiting to see what happens when they put a much larger group on it. The clinical trials were so small and a tight knit, well chosen group. Lets see what happens when everyone gets a chance at it. Please read, read, and re read all about it. it carries alot of risks, just as Ty does. Its a choice that deserves great research before its chosen.
