Hi, I just joined the site today and thought I\'d reply to you. I take Copaxone (I\'ve been on it about 1.5 yrs, but I\'ve had RRMS for 17 years). I also take Lexapro (started 4 yrs ago for postpartum depression), Baclofen for spaticity at night, Synthroid for my thyroid that doesn\'t work anymore (not ms related, but who knows??).

Copaxone is great in that I have not side effects other than injection site itching or bruising. The autoject is so easy that giving myself a shot everyday is a no-brainer.

I take Copaxone. I have been taking it since March, 2006. The only side effects are pain, swelling, redness at injection site but it isn\'t all that bad. I use the auto-inject and it is very easy to give myself the injections. It does not go into the muscle so it is not real painful.

secondary progressive, past 3 years.
3 - cortosteroids, Novantrone and Rebif. Other meds, ms related. Remember, ms has a holistic view of us. It invades many parts.
Rebif is the current one. Autoinjector helps a lot. \'Flu-like symptoms\' hopefully will diminish as my body adjusts. To early to tell if it\'s working.
Steroids was the best way to deal with RR.
Novatrone - two years, every 3 months; iv. Nausea. Glad its over.

These are ways to reduce the pain and discomfort. Nothing can make it dissappear. Read, Study. Beware of charlatans. Enjoy every morning.

LDN, Low Dose Naltrexone

http://www.larrygc.com/mystory takes you to my ldn ezboard thread from Day 1, 4/17/2003, going on 4 years now.

I took Copaxone for about a year and although I had no new lesions I was feeling much weaker in both my right leg and right arm. I am now taking Betaseron and this is an every other day shot and it does not hurt to do these as well as Copaxone. I cant say that I have been stronger in my limbs though

I take Copaxo ne and LDN. I take baclofen once a day and Amantadine when I first get up and about Noon.
