I am sick to my stomach..

I know......sometimes I think the DMD's do more harm than good.

I believe it all boils down to the mighty dollar. Honestly, I don't think they want to find a cure for anything. It would take away too much money from their pockets.

Wow. Thanks, Kao, that is truly disturbing.

I'll be waiting to see this clown on CourtTV.

I sometimes wonder if whatever it is that I'm injecting every day (Copaxone) might just be nothing more than saline solution or something that doesnt do anything helpful for the MS.

I know it's ruining my skin near the injection sites.

yet, I'm still doing the daily stab (well, not really daily stabs....I forget sometimes) Hopefully it's helping, but I'll probably never know if it's really helping.

And that's why we keep injecting ( and they, meaning the drug companies, know this) because we truly don't know how much worse we'd be without them. Not to mention, it helps ,IMO, if we believe that what we are doing is helping/working.

Back to the original post, this sickens me also that this happened. Also,I think it's terrible that it took this long to come out.

I don`t know how many remember but the tobacco companies got doctors to say tobacco wasn`t harmful, why should this be a surprise? A source of income and some put income ahead of ethics.
