- I just started Tecfidera yesterday, so I am still on the low dose and so far haven't had any side effects, but I was curious how soon people noticed their side effects. If this is how it's gonna go, great! but maybe I'm still in for the flushing and...
- I just thought I would share because I know fatigue is awful for most of us... I read a thing about dehydration being a factor with fatigue so for the past two weeks, I have been drinking LOTS of water. To my surprise, I actually feel better. Prior...
- I got a letter in the mail yesterday stating that my neuro is retiring. Does anybody else find it hard to switch after you've found a doctor you like? I really liked my doctor. He answered all my questions, was extremely personable and he had a lot...
- Does anyone else use the specialty pharmacy CuraScript? I have had nothing but problems with them whether its asking for a copay (which I don't have, losing my prescription, not processing things or not filling refills when I order them. I'm sick of...
- I was diagnosed in february of this year and was put on Copaxone. I had my last MRI about a week ago and I have developed 6 new lesions and my doctor says the Copaxone is not doing it's job as it should. He wants me to switch to Rebif of Betaseron....
- I was diagnosed on Valentines Day of this year so this is all really new to me. After my initial flare up, I had the taper dose of steroids and I had the feeling in my torso like my lungs were pressing into my rib cage. It wasn't intolerable but...
- Has anybody talked to their neurologist about the BG12 pill being a viable treatment plan when it comes out? I have been on Copaxone since April and it's not getting any easier. I think my anxiety with it is actually getting worse. We had talked...
- I don't know if this is normal, but the last few days, I have been REALLY tired. Fatigued actually but this morning, I literally could NOT wake up. I was trying but my husband asked if I was ok and if I needed to go to the hospital. I tried to open...
- I have been on the copaxone for a little over 2 weeks and I HATE it. They hurt, I get giant welts that last for 12 hours and my injections sites from the first week are still tender to the touch. It was so much easier to ignore the fact that I have...
- I DO realize that everybody experiences MS differently and everybody copes differently so I am not trying to step on any toes but I thought I would share this. If I only touch one person, that's ok. I just felt I should share.....I am 22 and was...
- I just started on the Copaxone this week and with the first injection (in my belly) I got a very large tender lump that lasted all day. The second one (arm) I got a hive-looking bump about an inch away from my injection and tonight (leg) I got a...
- I had my third meeting with my neurologist today and he ordered another test. He wouldn't go into specifics just said he wanted to rule out a sub category of MS. Looked up the NMO test and found it is a test used to determine Devic's.... Anybody...
- Did anyone ever have problems with hives or hive-looking spots appearing randomly? Over the last couple weeks I will have them show up on my face and neck and it's always just one but they're pretty big. They don't itch and the only reason I know...
- So I had a curious thought run through my head the other day. I was recently diagnosed and have not started any treatment yet. I have only had one "bad" episode that caused the discovery of the MS. Anyway, people have said that pregnant women are...
- I received my AutoJect2 today. I guess I was expecting it to be a little smaller than it is. Did anybody else find the size intimidating? Any tips for the Copaxone and injecting?
