Welcome to NT Jenn-sorry for the reason you've joined our club...

I've experienced vertigo & balance issues too. It goes away for me. I've been on Copaxone for 4 years, right after I was diagnosed. My neuro told me that the daily injections will be replaced by 4x/week injections next year. I'm not too excited by most of the other drugs due to the fact that they suppress your immune system. Also I have heart rhythm problems so I don't qualify for some of the new drugs
Hope you get some effective treatment for your symptoms & get all the info you need in order to make an informed choice regarding disease modifying meds. As much as I hate giving myself daily injections, I'd much rather do that then end up totally disabled. But I made an informed decision based on the level of MS my body is experiencing & what my doc felt would be effective with minimum side effects.
Keep us up to date on what's going on...
