I have been on really high dose Vitamin D and just had a bad bout of double vision and prior to that Lhermites sign.

I was on taking 40,000IU/day because in recent phase I trials this is the maximum dose that subjects were given. Ive been on this dosage for a little over a year and it is not working for me.

It appears that vitamin D can induce adaptive regulatory T cells which seem ...

I am flying to chicago to meet with dr burt about his trial on Monday, and since I take coaxone! I am wondering about taking it in a carry on bag on the plane. Anyone have experience with this? I don't fly often and would like any advice anyone has.

Has anyone had their ISRs worsen when a cold was coming on?

I had foot surgery on 12.9.11, followed by a cold that lasted 3 weeks. In all 6 weeks of "recovery." My ISRs worsened during that time. To the point last week, the IS were hard, red, inflamed, and up to 3" in diameter for 2-3 days post injection with a large hard bump lasting for up to 8 days.

Does anyone know why shared solutions will not give assistance to people on medicare or medicaid? Is it a law?
My copay part d medicare is 1300.00 a month. Shared solutions won't even return my calls. If you check their ad, they are clear that anyone on a govt health plan will not get help. WHy? Why? Why?

:?: I'm wondering if anyone has experience going off Copaxone. If it can be stopped immediately or if I will need to taper off? I could call Shared Solutions (SS), but don't think I'll get a positive answer since I'm wanting to end this treatment. I will be calling my neurologist on Monday, I'm just not sure I can do another injection.

I am having terrible ISRs ...

My doctor has prescribed Copaxone, but I am reluctant to give it a try. I read that the injection sites often are left with pits and/or knots in the skin. Does anyone know if this is due to the auto-inject system or a side effect of the medicine itself?

Thanks!!

Just wanted to quickly document my first bad reaction to copaxone after being on it 5 months.

I injected it as usual (although this time I did bleed quite badly afterwards which makes me think I might have injected into a blood vessel)

After about 3 minutes I had a feeling of very very mild breathing issues and a slight feeling of flushing (this was all so minimal that although I knew it was a ...

I was wondering if anyone new knew long it takes for Copaxone to reach a clinical level in your body and begin to slow the progression of MS? I went off of Rebif about 6 months ago due to the side effects. I feel 10x better off of the Rebif; however, when I told my neurologist I ended the Rebif and wanted to take Copaxone he discouraged me and said that Copaxone is not as ...
