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!! :)

I could've written this post in September. I also switched from Beta to Copaxone. On Betaseron, I continued to have flares with too much fx and severity, and continued to develop new lesions.

It is too soon to be sure if the Copaxone is working. However, some initial things that are hopeful are not having a flare in either:
December (I had a UTI then, and that generally triggers a flare, even when caught and treated early)

or April (I generally have an annual flare each April.)

Am hoping that I can get past September (one year since my most recent flare, and even past 2009 without another flare.

Best wishes to you, as you also make the switch.
