I've been on Copaxone for 2 1/2 years now...only get site reactions occasionally when I don't inject deep enough.
No side effects, and only 2 new lesions in that time...

Oh its hives!! all over itchy hives! I was on it for 2+ years before I got really bad hives. Went off of it and had a flare that was terrible (first IV steroids in 14+ years of MS. So that confirmed to me that it was working. Doc and I agreed to retry it on a modified dosage and I have been hive and flare free for 3 years now (I was on Avonex for 7 years at first) Dr Weiner wrote about it in his book "Curing MS" and it does have some properties that may turn inflammatory cells into anti- inflammatory cells

goodluck

2 year scan update;
Mild progression with a couple of new areas.
Not as bad as I thought, not as good as I hoped.

So do the drugs stop even worse progression? Or is it not working?

Neuro follow up next month ( I opened the report and scans same day and checked them out)

Does your neuro expect you NOT to open a report before you get to him?
