And if something might work, and that something isn't going to do harm (like some of the other DMDs might), then, for me, it is a no brainer.
IMO, ALL the dmd's are a poison. But like you said, if something might work.... All these meds do some kind of harm to us. Out of all the dmd's available now, copaxone is the one with the least amount of side effects. Its still a chemical, poison if you will, but I am trying it. Nothing is a cure. Just hopefully something to slow down the inevitable. Thats all Im hoping for. When the CRAB's were introduced, I asked why isnt there a pill for this cuz I HATE shots. Now there is a pill, but it can kill you!! Give me a needle, and Im ok with that when looking at what that little PILL can do to you. Im not big on any meds for anything!! If C doesnt work for me, Im done with dmd's. Beta and C are enough for me. No more. I dont trust anything they say about these drugs anymore. It was like heaven when G came out, then 11 people lost their lives. Ty was also soooo great, then the brain infections happend. Im not trying to scare anyone, I do personally know some folks who take G and Ty and they are doing well on it, but its definately not for me. Hopefully for everyone waiting on BG-12, it will work for you's. For me, BG-12 is not in my dmd vocabulary. Dont mean to be a downer , or get anyone mad, that was not my intent.
