Hi Reba,

Welcome to NT! I am sorry for the reason that brought you here, but happy that you found us. Was rebif your first dmd? I hope copaxone works for you. While you do need to inject everyday, many people experience success with it. Plus it typically does not have the flu like side effects that the interferons do.

Hello and welcome.

Many have struggles trying to find the right drug for them. I was on Betaseron and had to move to Copaxone because it upset my liver greatly. I was very disappointed and went kicking and screaming, but Copaxone isnt such a bad drug. No flu side effects and while yes its everyday, you will be surprised how quickly you get used to it.

Hi Reba, happy to meet you..

I changed from Avonex to Copaxone and found the shot much easier than A's into the Muscle shot. Copaxone was a breeze and no nasty side effects, except that it did not stop my attacks.

Just on LDN and Prozac now and seem to be doing okie dokie.

I hope Copax works for you and your MS progression slows down.
