If I were worse off than I am, or fading fast, I may consider this medicine, but I feel its really severe, and has many risks involved, up to and including death. Copaxone has many risks and side effects as well as the other DMDs, but death isnt usually one of the effects.

As my MS MD said its 1 in 100 for the public, but if YOU are the one that gets it, its 1 in 1. everyone else wont matter. When I first starting seeing them they wouldnt even talk about TY with you. Said it was too dangerous, too unpredicable, and so forth. Then a new MD came into the nest and all of a sudden TY was on the menu. They are reccomending it for those who have failed off 2 DMDs or continue to progress on DMDs. How can they be against it one minute, and cheerleading for it the next? that confused me.
