The last year I was on Copaxone I did it for DH. He was terrified that I would lay down the needle and in a year be in a chair. After educating him about this med, and its side effects and what it could and couldnt do, he agreed. Changing my diet made me feel better. getting more exercise made me feel better. reducing stress made me feel better. Copaxone made me feel oh so much worse. I kept hearing about silent damage and how i really needed to be on this. I am so glad I quit. I feel like I got my life back. Im dented, i have divits and while im not a bikini model, i like my body!
