Good plan, but that won't make him change the dx, right? :confused::eek::p

Cayo, I LOVE that movie. LOL See, I was so happy when I had my first MRI because I then had medically documented evidence that I had a brain and that it was normal (despite what some of my friends said).

Igor: Walk this way. (that's my FAVORITE line I think)

Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?

Until 1996, the drug went through life as Copolymer 1, often shortened to Cop 1. Those familiar with the full name pronounced Cop as "cope"; others pronounced it as if talking about a police officer.

Teva, the firm which carried out the final steps of development of Cop 1 and filed a New Drug Application (NDA) for it, chose the trade name Copaxone®, which cleverly incorporated "Cop" and "one", as well as including the word "axon" as a reference to the nervous system and the place at which the drug produces its beneficial action.

I remember first hearing about Cop1 at a Sacramento MS Society seminar in 1992.

Berri berri interesting. Wow, I learn something new from you all the time!

For me, it'd be Cop as in Police Officer. My mom worked for the police department from when I was 13 to 18. Imagine having 165 dads with supremely dirty minds and bizarre senses of humor! And you wonder why I'm warped. :rolleyes:

I should hope not! Maybe he'll hook you up with some good stuff though, if you know what I mean. :winky:

Congratulations? Gazzy!

Glad you like your doc -- he sounds like a keeper.

Ummm, you SURE you want MS? I mean, you know about the initiation ceremony, right?

Hmmm, Twink, I think I might. I hazily (pun intended) remember something about one that I went through in 2005. Do you have to go through it again if you lose the dx and then get re-dx'd? Is it like Plebe week?

Look, MS sounds a lot nicer than ALS or GB or MG or CA. So.... sure, I'll take MS. Besides, I like the club benefits.

Nah, we won't make you go through it again.

You're right about Club benefits, though. Love meeting other MSers.

So, you're going to plan a GTG now, right?

Maybe you have WAY too many frequent flier miles. :D

Sure, I think the next one I'm going to plan will be in Italy with Greta. So who's joining me?

:p

Well CG I always knew you had holes in your head!

Gaz,
Glad you got confirmation,but wished for you that it woulda been something curable still. :hug: Bet you're glad though for the confirmation. I enjoy your posts always, just wanted you to know.

Gazelle,

Yeah, this is weird congratulating you on a disease. So I'll congratulate you on finding out you're not crazy. There really ARE holes in your head! LOL!

Glad you found a good doctor finally.

Now you can sit back, relax and take all these drugs they like giving us :D

:hug:
