hi kelly,

welcome to NT. it sounds like you've had a rough time & i'm sorry you're flaring. i hope the roids work.

i've been on copaxone for 10 yrs and have done well on it.
true it's daily shots but it's not IM & you don't get flu like sx's on it.
the shots become routine. the RN will come to your home & teach you how to do them.

the best advice i can give you looking back on my experience is to take 1 day at a time. try not to look ahead because no one can predict the future, not even healthy folks.

and, be gentle with yourself. listen to your body and don't overdo if you don't have to. pace yourself so you can conserve your energy to do things that have to be done.

congrats on your baby too.
