Greetings!
Just joined this forum, and am happy to report that though I was diagnosed with R/R MS in 1993,I've been very lucky and haven't had too a bad time of it.
Ten years after my diagnosis,when I had some fleeting visual disturbances , my neuro had me get my first MRI since then. He said that the progression was slight enough that it looked almost like a new case, and recommended therapy to try to keep it that way. I've been on Copaxone for 4 years,and my only real side effect has been those dam lipo atrophy site dents(arms, thighs).I know I probably should not do this, but I only shoot my butt now-- WTH, it looks like chewed bubblegum anyway (I'm 51)
As for the disease and symptoms,(though I HATE the heat and do tire occasionally)nothing really major since '93, and thus far, the Copaxone seems to be effective.
Cheers!

Hi Bee, Welcome to your home away from home.

I'm glad to hear that you are stable early in the game. I hope Copaxone keeps doing it's thing for you.

Jump right in and enjoy your stay.

Hi Bee!

AMN is NOT prone to overstate facts, so , if she says we are fun and cool these are the most understated facts you'll hear from this group!

Welcome to the group! Glad you are here.

Hi Bee and welcome to the group! I'm glad to hear your MS hasn't progressed very much and the copaxone seems to be working. I was diagnosed in 1990 and am using a wheelchair. See you around!!

Newbie here.
Dx'd with RRMS this year after years of thinking my symptoms were all in my head.... (no pun intended).
Anyway, just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself.
KathyM told me about this place months ago, sorry it took me so long to get here.

Hi Chelle, Welcome to NeuroTalk and nice to meet you. Do I know you from someplace else? I don't recognize your name.

So sorry for the DX, but guess it's a relief just to know. Are you on any of the MS Meds yet?

Just join in anywhere and have a good time.
