I have been on Copaxone for about 5 years .. all systems go, seems to be keeping me on my feet etc. my arms look pretty bad and i was wondering if i stop shooting there - will the fat fill back in? just wondering if this happens. . it did on my legs - but i only shot there a few times bc it killed l...

I just received a job offer that i think i am going to accept. Can anyone walk me through the proper steps to ensure that i dont lapse my coverage? just a little nervous.

I hope you are feeling better. . . i'm struggling a little these days too. I've hit a "dark time" of sorts and having a little trouble getting through it - feeling stuck. I've started seeing my therapist again - so hopefully this will help things. But i cant remember the last day that i di...

I have some depression that is believe is MS related. . i just tend to drop a little deeper sometimes, waves of tears just take over. I ended a relationship 2 months ago and havent been able to recover from it, i just miss him, but we wanted different things - i contacted a therapist that i used to ...

thank for your suggestions - i often say that sleep is my most sought after activity. my insomnia can have such an effect on so many parts of my life, esp the emotional side. . i can go from a negative nancy to tears in 5 mins - very confusing for some people close to me.

thanks.

Depression and insomnia are 2 of the wonderful side effects of my MS. Last night i couldnt sleep, so i take a little ambien to get me down. . i get a good 8 (waking up once or twice) - ambien does give me a side effect of making me a little more grouchy and depressed (not as bad as if i didnt get an...

I'm 35, dxed 3 years - i met an amazing man 1.5 years ago and we are still together. I told him that i had MS right after the first time we were intimate - i mean right after, and then apologized for not telling him earlier. It is a mixed bag, my symptoms are mild, and my activity level has not chan...

copaxone is working for me. i get the dents though and i hate them. what i was wondering was that if anyone knew if lipoatrophy was reversible through plastic surgery? new treatments are going to be coming out in the next 5-6 years for MS and it would just be nice to think about having nice legs aga...

I'm interested in any possibilities as well, i would take a little more pain for less dents and bumps - i follow all the rules as far as rotation arms, legs, hips and tummy - i also rotate within each site. . the outside of my legs look horrible - I have been on copaxone 1.5 years, holding strong.

the lumps and bumps are horrible - i have perm dents on the sides of my legs from them, massaging hasn't helped - i tried moving the shots around, but i got in trouble from my neuro, sometimes i inject in the front of my legs - but that kills. . .

i just have the concern that as a personalized medication Tovaxin is obviously going to be very expensive to administer - so for it to make it to the market i would think it would need to have phenomenal results, my fingers are crossed on this one - but i don't know of another "personalized&quo...

Sorry to re-post this, but i just had an appointment with my neuro and she admitted that she "doesn't know anything regarding the yellow-fever vaccination" - initially she told me to get it. I'm still on the fence - its NOT required for where i am going in Brazil, but suggested. Can anyone...

i do that if i forget to take it out the night before - i also try to take shots out of the fridge 3-4 at a time so they are ready to go. Also depends on where i am shooting - some places much more sensative than others.

I just had a visit with my neuro - over the last few months i had moved my copaxone injection on my legs up to almost where my leg and hip join. I asked her if this was ok - AND ITS NOT. . i had moved it there bc of the lumpy bumps that i was getting my thighs (and the side of my thighs) - i though ...
