WooHoo....ok not really, but......
I passed the strength test, I still have all feeling in my feet and I was given some muscle relaxer and a anti depressant/anti anxiety. I told her how my kid is diving me crazy with his hyper activity and since his doc wont give him meds I need some!!!! lol

Anyways I was convinced to do Copaxin.....The doc said technically here in america it will be about 5 years till the oral comes out...So....I said I will -try- it, Copaxin. Damn it lol

Ok I want to know what to expect when I do the first dose, any tips or anything would be great

thank you!!

My first week of injections, I had chocolate to reward myself post each shot! (Of course, any excuse for chocolate!)
