Huh? You are on 2 of the CRAB drugs??? I've never heard of that. And adding Copaxone in the mix? You seriously need to look for a new doctor.

I have heard of this, it is new. Goto the MSAA website for more info.

I heard that they were trying this Copaxone combo with Avonex/Rebif, since Copaxone acts differently that the others, it's exciting to see what the outcomes will be for it...I haven't heard of others here on DS that are on it, but let us know how it goes with you! xoxoxoxo

Hi, everyone:
I need some advice. Recently, I was diagnosed with optic neuritis, not MS. I don't have any signs yet, I am very healthy. Doctors want to put me on Avonex, which apparently treats MS, but I don't know what to do. I feel O.K. They say that we have to prevent it from happening in the years to come. Any comments, please. I am horrified.

copaxone and rebif or avonex at the same time, whats that about 40K to 50K a year. I wonder how many insurance companies would pay for that

I was put on Avonex before my MS diagnosis and after my first attack, but I had another attack anyway, but it was a mild one compared to the one before it

I've never heard of this either. I can't imagine taking two of the drugs at once.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
