4boysmom,

I'm so sorry about the test results. I can relate to people not understanding about MS being complicated. I'm lucky that my DH finally does understand but only after talking to him a lot about the disease and treatment for the past six years. Other people expect me to be like "so and so" who is doing just fine on Avonex and in a physical job, etc...

Copaxone is a great medicine. I was on it for 18 months and had good MRI's etc... It has a very long track record for safety and has impressive research data showing it works.

I hope it will work fine and you'll be able to get on with life without all of this "medicine stuff" as I think of it. I went through lots while on interferons and it just seems like the starting and stopping of meds takes so much out of us.
