Welcome to our little club...sorry that you qualify

Copaxone seems to be the mildest drug in terms of side effects. I've been on it for 4 years now, ever since being dxd. I have to say that when I got the diagnosis I was relieved to finally have an answer...but when the Copaxone arrived I cried-made it so real.
I look forward to next year when the drug company will come out with a formulation that only requires a few injections per week instead of daily.

Don't forget to keep a symptom journal! It's important to bring to each exam and gives the neuro an idea of how things are going.
Eat good food, try to stay active, get a bit of exercise, and balance this with rest. We are all veterans here-ask anything and one of us will probably have some idea of what you need to know.
You're not alone!! Be a pro-active patient...your doc and nurse are a part of your team. And sites like this one help keep you sane.
