My DH has been in a mood lately, and when I sat him down last night, and cornered him, he admitted he is afraid that they will pull me off the copaxone, and I will have relapse after relapse, and then life will go down hill rapidly. He feels like all those old sx will return. I had to back him up and explain that Copaxone doesnt do anything for the sx of today...you all know the story. He sounded relieved, and understood a whole lot better once I exlpained a bit more about this med to him.

I need to figure out what I am going to do to save or dismiss this med.
No advice for you, Dej. Because, I think you're aware of all the factors and possibilities. Hope you can come to a decision that you are comfortable with, and that ends up working for you.

Best wishes,
