I just got back from the neuro and I am in another flare.
He did all of the usual tests and I didnt do very good I apparently dont have any feeling in my right leg which I really hadnt even noticed which is still boggeling me. My balance is way off I couldnt stand on either leg without holding on to something which I also havent noticed its amazing what you learn not only about MS but yourself when you are there...

I started another round of Solumedral today and he is switching me from Copax to Avonex if anyone has and info on Avonex it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all of your replies
and yes Laura lots of water and something for this nasty taste...

Glad the appt went good, yeah a weird bad kind of good but you know what I mean, thats one of the reasons for my latest round of MRIs for me,my doc has been hinting he suspects the copaxone isnt doing me any good, hope the roids help real soon

Sorry to hear you are not doing so well.

I'm a bit surprised that he is taking you off Copaxone so soon . . . it's only been 5 months. I've always understood that the CRABs that 6 - 12 months to become effective in our system. This is probably true of most of the drugs we take.

Do you know if you have spinal lesions?

I can't give you any advise on Avonex because I don't use any of the DMD's, but I just wanted to say that I hope the steroids help.

Hi Cherie

I was suprised myself that he took me off of the Copax. He told me I had alot of progression which I kinda knew already and he wanted to get me on something else, so I just went with it I dont really care for the once a day injections and the welts that never go away from the C anywans so It was ok with me. The steroids always make me feel like I have been hit with a mack truck the first week but I know once that week is over I will be feeling much better.
