I saw my neuro. the other day, he had said something about maybe that Shared Solutions is thinking about reducing the injection by half and makinig it every other day. News I thought I would spread.
What the medication does is reduces the effects of exaserbations. It is not guranteed, but it is better than nothing. The makers of the drug, Copaxone, think that not as much is needed to do the job. It helps the bodies natural immune system to be stronger in good ways. That is, of course, what is going on is that the immune system is not working properly. I know someone that also does not take medications, he has heard about the side effects of some of them. I have researched and found that the least amount of possible side effects are with Copaxone. Wish me luck, and good luck to you.

That is wonderful new!!! I do not take medications, so please tell me how this will affect your MS because you are lowering the dosage. :)
