Miss Feisty, I hear you and understand your position. I am taking a break from Copaxone after diligently dosing daily for six months due to hives. If Copaxone doesn't work, I am not sure if they will give me the others due to my history of depression. Only you know your body and there is no right or...

Thanks for getting me to update this thread. I started monthly B12 injections in October after being diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis. There was some atrophy observed in the endoscopy so my doctor ordered a full celiac panel, but I haven't gotten the results of that. With the shorter days and les...

Having the nurse come out is key! You want to inject the Copaxone at room temp so I do take out a week at a time and leave it in the little kit.

LA, you can do this! I know you can!! And, just remember, each day it does get easier!!! Promise!

LA, you have made the best choice for you and you know, you can always change meds in the future. In June, I too was right where you are now and please feel free to post for support or email me off line. Like you, I had so many symptoms and didn't know what was wrong. It is hard when you are the Mom...

Wow LA, what a long road it has been for you! I am so glad that you finally have answers!!! Do you feel some relief with a diagnosis? Now you can have a plan, which will help you and your hubby feel a bit more in control. You are a very strong young woman and seem to handle things amazingly well. Es...

You have received so many great comments and support! It is great that ou are moving forward with your life and a vacation before your second child arrives is excellent. (We have two daughters and it does get busier!) However, one suggestion on the much needed and expensive trip is travel insurance....

Okay, I guess the last D3 was in March. It was 56.6 in a range of 32-100. .The B12 then was 353 and then was 451 in May. My MS Specialist was concerned at that time that the B12 was low. (It was 280 in October) The challenge, that I guess that you experience too, is that different doctors pull blood...

JL, you are awesome. Thanks...now I don't think I am crazy. I have had more dreams this week that I remember having in YEARS! Last night I woke up at 3 am and the dreams just starting making me freak out a bit. My guess is that my body just got such a big jolt of it, it will take a bit of time to ad...

Hello JL, sorry it has been so long, but life seems to keep getting in the way. I did see the gastro dr. and he says I have autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis. He started me on B12 injections, my first last Monday. (Obviously, the sublingual B12 (1,000 daily) was not effective as my level was...

WOW! I am going to need to take some time this weekend away from the kids to digest all of this information. How do you know and understand all of this? I don't think my gastro thinks it is infection (H.plyori) related, but autoimmune in nature. Please give me a couple of days to read through your p...

Hello..this is to Jimmylegs, the ultimate vitamin expert or to anyone else with a similar experience. I will try to be as short and concise as possible. I was diagnosed with MS in May. My fatigue and stomach issues continue to be an issue. I had an endoscopy in August with a preliminary diagnosis of...

Well, I had my first IPIR about 1 1/2 hours ago! I am just over 90 days on Copaxone and injected into my left arm. The feeling seemed to come up through my stomach, to my chest and then my face. It was hard to breathe and I felt hot and my face and fingers tingled. I managed to yell for my husband, ...

chickadee50, so are you sticking with the copaxone? It has slowly gotten better for me, but I haven't had those experiences. That would be quite scary and tough to take the shot the next day. (Especially if you were alone!)

Great improvement! If you hadn't tracked that, it may have been hard to really see the improvement! You are a very caring and loving husband and make a good team!

My husband had loose stool issues for years. (He is now mid 40's) Most of the time he managed it, but occasionally it was like your situation. When I went gluten free a couple of years ago, he decided to eliminate gluten to show support to me. But to his surprise, he found that anytime that he ate g...
