copaxone can take UP TO one year to start working well. I was one of those that took the full year.

My MD wants to know about any NEW or reoccurring symptom that lasts for at least 24 hours straight with no breaks. We then get to play the "do you want steroids with that" game. They told me you have 10 days to start steroids. After 10 days the recovery rate is exactly the same as someone who didnt get the steroids.

I try to reserve steroids as there is a price to pay for them. I use them for Optic nerve stuff or really bad stuff.

I hope you feel better quick.
