i was 53 when i was dx'd. i started on copaxone right away and have been on it ever since. i've tolerated it well. i opted out of the interferons because of a hx of depression altho well controlled.

altho i had some slow steady decline (legs weak, stamina poor) i've stabilized. i've never had a flare or ON odd as that seems. i've considered stopping the C but don't want to take a chance on worsening disease at this time. i feel like i traded side effects for daily shots which become fairly routine with time.

please let us know how your appt goes.
