i was also dx'd by my MRI.
i'm sorry you were dx'd with MS. but, now that you know what you're dealing with you can make plans and take action.

i'd research copaxone. look it up and become knowledgeable. around here we say that knowledge is power. and power gives you control. you are your own best advocate.

i've been on copaxone for almost 10 yrs. i picked it because i didn't want the side effects of the interferons. i'm one of those people that believe in an MS med. some don't. some have started meds and gone off. each of us have our story with MS which is different for each.

my neuro thought i'd be in a WC in 5 yrs but i'm still walking with a cane and still driving. i'm independent. because of the copaxone???? or just my MS course. i guess i won't know but i'm sticking with it.

you get used to the daily routine. you may have some local site reactions but they decrease with time. i've found shared solutions to be very helpful in helping you. they also will send an RN to your house to get you started. and they will come back if needed.

keep us posted.
