Default I'm driving again!
I stopped taking my copaxone a month ago. What has changed?

I am driving again! I have more energy and feel more than capable. My stomach hurts less. my eyes are dramatically less dry. I have more stamina. I am slower to anger or frustration bursts. I can talk and walk at the same time. I am less distracted and can pay attention for longer periods of time. I have less chest pain episodes. My anxiety level is dropping by the day. My hair has stopped falling out.

I think I will have to make a spread sheet of before and after. The DH commented this morning that it was nice to have his wife back.

That's great news, Dej! I'm so glad you stopped taking that med. It obviously wasn't meant for you.

It's terrible when the treatment is worse than the disease. I'm so glad you're feeling better.

aw dej,

i'm so happy for you you have no idea.
i can't believe how toxic the C was for you.

you should file some sort of letter with the FDA or something.

i hope soon you'll feel even greater. keep enjoying life.

YAY!!! I am so happy for you. It's amazing how your body responds sometimes when you stop putting poisons into it.

Awesome Dej! Interesting something so simple as C actually made you worse. I take 3000mg Lysine daily which is 1 of the 4 ingredients. FYI dairy has lots of Lysine.
