Vitamin D3 is a great thing to add. about 2000 international per day is a great start. a good quality multivitamin is a good start as well. The majority of us dont start taking other things unless we start having problems. muscle spasms equal adding magnesium and fatigue has a host of adds many of us do, but until you get there, try not to overwhelm yourself.

Take ONE step at a time. Read the brouchures, and research what your MD gave you, inluding the Copaxone at Copaxone.com and once you pick which on you feel is right for you, and your life then have a heart to heart with your MD. What side effects does she expect. (NO drug has zero side effects) and if and when they happen, will she or her team be ready for you. Copaxone has the least side effects for its profile, but it can have some.

Then once your training nurse comes out and gets you set on the med of your choice, call Shared Solutions (this is the copaxone people) speak to their nurse and say "what freebies do you have?" they have ice packs, travel packs, and refrig boxes so that your needles are not wandering loose and causing trouble. it has a lock on it so small hands, or nosey folks cant touch it. They have work out DVDs and so forth. Make sure you ask for your freebies.

Good luck! let us know.
