Ditch the Doctor! Get copies of all your results from him, for EVERYTHING. Find an MS Specialist. All you need to do to find one is a little research. Maybe start at a hospital in your area that has great reviews and search their website for an MS Specialist. If you don't find one, try another hospi...

Every place is different but I also had my last set done in a hospital and I walked straight to the films department after my MRI and not even 10 minutes later I was walking out with a copy on CD. If you wait a little longer to get the copy, the Radiologist Report can be put on them as well. Most pl...

I have wierd things happening to me now that I didn't notice before. When I'm sitting on the sofa and laying my head on my hand with my elbow on the arm of the sofa, I notice that my arm and hand will start to tingle within a couple of minutes. I know it's normal for peoples extremities to fall asle...

Well, vertigo is a common symptom of MS. I don't think it'll hurt to see an ENT to maybe see if fluid in the ears is the cause. If it is, than great! Maybe you can get some relief.

Me too!

Welcome to TIMS Green and Caroline.

Thanks TC!

I always bite the inside of my cheeks when I'm eating. Drives me crazy. I'd love to hear the relation of this to MS, if there is one. I usually try not to pay much attention to my symptoms but this is definitely something I've noticed is accuring more frequently.

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year. Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But tw...

Aaron, I agree with you. Although I've only been on Copaxone for a little over a month, I much rather deal with site reactions than flu-like symptoms every few days. For me the choice was, go with Copaxone or go with nothing. Happy to hear you ditched the walker. I hope your health continues to impr...

Welcome 2000. I hope you find the support here helpful to you.

I googled "Copaxone Studies" and came up with many results. You can weed through them and see what you find. Effectiveness of Copaxone from the horses mouth - http://www.copaxone.com/consideringcopaxone/efficacy.aspx Effectiveness of Copaxone from a TIMS member - http://www.thisisms.com/ft...

I think I'll slowly creep up the depth ladder. I'm too chicken to jump from 6 to 8 but I'll try something deeper.

Thank you!
