My neuro is not an MS specialist. If I had a stroke or something, I would probably feel confident with him. He's the only game in town, but do I trust his advice? Not especially. He told me to use the autoject to avoid the IPIR from Copaxone, which is bogus. And he told me that I "didn't have enough lesions to cause the fatigue" I described. What?

I stopped taking my Copaxone 5-6 weeks ago, and I haven't made an appointment to go tell him yet. I really don't think he has enough experience with the DMD's to make a good recommendation, as if it isn't a crapshoot to begin with.

I really want to take some time before (or if) I decide on any other DMD. I know he'll pressure me to start a different one, and probably scare the jibbers out me thinking I'll have a massive flare-up if I wait. (I scare easy)

I'm sort of starting not to trust ANY med at this point. I even think my vitamins are going to jump out of the bottle and slap me.
