Default New change in meds
I am being switched from Beta to Copaxone. Apparently Beta wasn't doing anything for me.

I second that! Sometimes you have to try different things before you find one that works. Good luck with the Copaxone!

Beta didnt like me at all. I switched to Copaxone, and was surprised by the lack of side effects. No more pink splotches! woo!

Hope the copaxone works wonders for you!! It's so hard to tell if they're really working since it's only to slow down progression. Good luck!!
