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?

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.

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

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.

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

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


Kim
