Thanks Sally. I'm hoping the flu will ease, but if not then I can't see staying on this. The trials showed it was, what, about 30% helpful over placebo? Something around there. Well if I'm giving up 2/7ths of my week, that's nearly 30%. I have to ask, what's the point if it continues this way?
Really, really happy about the gabapentin though. I can't understate that. The TN was horrific and now its just gone. |

Thanks for the update. So glad to hear the gabapentin is working for you.
I've always been averse to trying a ones and rebid due to their side effects. I'm blessed that Copaxone seems to be working for me. Have you discussed Copaxone with your neuro?

We're giving the avonex a little more time, but if it doesn't let up soon we talked about 2 other options: Copaxone and the new Aubagio. He doesn't want to give me Aubagio until its been out a little longer, but we'll reassess if/when I give up on the avonex. Copaxone is looking like the next step, if I can get over the daily injections.

My neuro told me that next year Teva is coming out with new injections of Copaxone that will only require 3x/week injections...can't wait!

the C injections really aren't so bad.
it's not an IM shot, it's subcutaneous so the needle is small. if you were self injecting the other i think you'll be fine with C. you get into a routine and get used to the daily shots. i had site reactions for about the 1st yr but it gets better and better. use ice and it helps. i was using the autoinjector but actually found manual injections to be better. glad the TM is gone.
