You're very welcome whoopdedeaux you're in good hands around here!

About the neurologist... you need to feel comfortable with who you're seeing, and not feel like you're being pressured at all. You will be seeing the neurologist for some time to come, so if you don't like the current, remind her that there's plenty of fish in the neuro-sea!

All joking aside, I do hope you can find a doctor you work well with. Glad you've found us

hello,

i'm glad you found us.
i've been on copaxone for 8 yrs. i'm a needle weenie too, and I'M A NURSE!
i couldn't take the other drugs because i had a hx of depression so the interferons were a no no for me.

i've either done well (stable) with my MS or i've been stable with the copaxone. hard to tell and i don't feel like coming off to get an answer unless something were to make me.

shared solutions (copaxone) has a toll free # 1-800-887-8100. they may be able to answer your allergy Q's. of course they'll be slanted but you could try.

you might also try to google them and read the drug info. or, your pharmacist may be able to get it for you.

i guess part of the answer may also lie with how your disease process has been, your mri, etc.

good luck and please keep us posted.
