Oh Amy. First and foremost, you have my sympathy that your doctor mixed up your report from another patient.

Second, do you feel any different? Was it a surprise that you have more lesions. Are your sx's worse or was the news worse than the reality?

Third, Copaxone is not a cure. If it was, EVERYONE would be on Copaxone as a first choice. It is only one of the ABCR's. Like the rest of the DMD's, it has a 30% effectiveness in reducing the possibilities of further exacerbations.

That means you are in a 70% majority.

But it is more about how you FEEL rather than how you feel about the news that you have more lesions.

Do you take an AD? If not, start the process of finding a good one for you. MS and depression go hand in hand.

I am sorry for your results.
