Hi everyone! My name is Liz and I was dx'ed in september of 2010 with MS. Was dx'ed in 2008 with transverse myelitis and syringomyelia and dx'ed with 6th nerve palsy (double/blurry vision). I have been on Avonex but had to stop as the side effects knocked me down for 2 days. Am to start on copaxone this weekend (3/26/11) and am scared to death. Not sure I even want to do it. I would stop but have new lesions. Initial lesions fading away but new ones popping up. I stay very positive and upbeat and you would never know I am in constant pain every day. Still working two days a week until I hear from disability (2nd try). This is such a great site and am glad I found it! Looking forward to meeting people and gaining knowledge. Married 19 years, two wonderful teenage children!! Peace and Love...
