Yes she is off Copaxone now. She tolerated the drug very well for the entire time she was on it, but dropped it last month to receive the first round of Campath infusions .

I use Oanda.com to send money from the UK to my EUR account, they charge a flat fee of $20 for every transfer and they then convert your money with a tiny commision (something like 0.1%).
