I agree with Barb. You dont know how YOU are going to react until YOU try it. Same for any DMD. Some folks take Avonex and dont blink, others lay in bed for 4 days with fever, shakes, chills, and bone pain. Same for Copaxone. Some folks never notice any change other than feeling better, and others have dented skin, and those dreaded reactions after taking the shot.

Its worth a shot (pun intended) and perhaps you will be so pleased, and happy with the drug that you cant believe you waited. If you are not happy, and full of side effects, your MD will pull you off. NONE of the DMDs are forced on us if we are miserable taking them.

I wish you the best of luck. The majority of folks who take it say its almost side effect free for them.
