Will someone please inform me what Copaxone "does"? I didn't take the interferons (I
guess it is an Interferon?) when my only dx was MS; I did the Swank diet and it was enough to give me a pretty good but anxiety filled life. I took Interferon (that being its name) for Polycythemia Vera and had to stop due to severe side effects (rash, itching increasing, neuropathy in feet increasing, breathing at night not good). But I knew what it was supposed to do, that is, cut back on platelets in my blood, which were over a million.
So what is Copaxone's action? I know I can google it, but sometimes I find the answers on google to be to "broad" and too concerned with covering the whole waterfront of answers rather than giving a specific one. Thanks.
