I am confused in your original question you asked about these drugs but later you state you are using copaxone? Are you looking for alternatives?
All I can say I told my MS specialist "oh so it's like birth control - you don't know if it working unless you have an accident." All I can say is I am using betaseron since March and I doubt myself but what is the alternative? At least it was my decison to start and the drugs are here. 10 years ago they weren't. If you talk to others about alternatives they firmly belive in choices they have made.

Majestic- I did not know what the CRAB stood for... I am quite familiar with the Drugs. I did take Betaseron for a while. The ten year study for Copoaxone came out and my Doctor thought is was a better drug.... Who Knows. I have tolerated it about the same....but every day injections can be a paid.

Well texas, I am not sure I like the term "crab drugs" any better. You get those after you had the "bar drugs" LOL! Sorry that was not appropriate but couldn't help it!

    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...
