After a year on the Beta, I finally had enough and traded it in for Copaxone. It took a lot of thought, I'm aware that C may take over 6 months to kick in, but really I had no choice. I was getting more skin reactions and pain and fatigue and nausea and exhaustion... so the chances of taking it for much longer was getting slimmer by the (alternate) day.

So I must report that I am over the moon (so far) with Copax. Those needles could be sharper and thinner, and that sting really bites, but I feel so GOOD!!

And it made me realise that being diagnosed and starting Beta all within a week may have diguised a flaw in that plan. What if all my 'symptoms' have really been side effects all this time?? What if my neuro is right- my symptoms are not MS induced after all??

Blimey, what an improvement I've seen. I can make it through a day without a nap, I don't feel as stupid and I even worked a shift yesterday!

Whoda thunk it...
