I've been doing every other day, or less, for several years now. It had just gotten too expensive and also I was running out of body area that wasn't covered in huge whelps from the shots. I did have one exacerbation when I went too long without the C where I ended up back in the wheelchair, but other than that I've been about the same. It's against my dr's advice and of course the drug co and provider will not tell you to take less! But as long as I don't see an increase in symptoms, I plan to continue.

Teva is actually coming out, hopefully this year, with a Copaxone shot that has to be taken only three times a week rather than every day.

I didn't take shots for three years, wasn't a good thing. I'm back to everyday now, however, I do miss some days. I have a total of about two months from the last year I missed. I'm trying to do better this year.

If I have another relapse within six months my neuro may change my med.
The neuro I had for years died, so I am now with the neuro I stopped seeing after two visits...oh well, as long as he agrees with me, we'll get along just fine. lol
