Hi, I have my Copaxone Nures coming tomorrow just wondering what to expect. I am like a scred child when it comes to shots.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry times are so tough. I personally have never gotten a clear answer from all the Drs I have seen in 5 years 2 LLMDS. I was Diagnosed with MS 5 years ago with positive lyme tests. None of the Drs in my State would talk about the Lyme. So I went 3000 miles to a Nuero LLMD that did put me on IV ant...

Thanks everyone for the for the reasurance. Yes I have seen 4 Nueros my current one that I like is a MS Specialist. When I was Diagnosed I had 11 lesions in brain and spine, and had O'bands in my spinal fluid. And was having a new symptom about every 2 months. I have also seen 2 LLMDs and 2 local In...

Terrified to start Copaxone. I am like my 11 year old when it comes to getting shots. I did do Avonex for about 9 months five years ago and I hated it I would drink Wine and Xanex before every shot. I can't do that every day, I actually don't ever really drink it makes me so sick now. I have put thi...

Good Luck. Doxy always made me very sick even with food, so they swithched me to Minocycline and it is still tough but better.

I always take it on a full stomach lots of water and make sure to sit up for a half hour.

Hi Ken, I was first diagnosed with MS 6 years ago even though I always tested positive for Lyme on the Elisa and Western Blot. It took me a long time and lots of fights to get my first Doxy. Doxy was very hard on me stomach wise and herxing. They swithched me to Mino easier on my stomache. I finally...

Agatha, Sometimes I feel so bad for my Husband and all he does. I have been herxing straight this whole month. I haven't noticed any good days. I make it through work barely, get home and lay down. We have a 1 year old Baby that never stops and I feel so bad my Husband does almost everything around ...

I was treated for Lyme Disease after being diagnosed with MS. I got much better after 90 days of IV Rocephen. We got Pregnant 6 months later and were instructed to take 1500mg of amoxicillin during pregnancy and breastfeeding to protect the baby from getting Lyme. She did test negative at Birth and ...

Thx SkyDog, I have heard of her she has seen a friend of mine. Have you ever seen her before. It is strange to be on a MS site again. Usually when I bring up Lyme, MS and Antibiotics I don't get a warm welcome. I identify with well with people with Lyme but mine is so much more like MS that I need s...

I forgot to comment on the Part where Oregon does not have Lyme. It is a ridiculus statement Drs here love to say. I had so many Positive tests the CDC called me and asked me where I thought I got my Lyme from Local or Out of State. I believe it was right here in Central oregon. I said I have Lyme r...

I cancelled my Local Dr Appointment. I am not ready to go in there with negative tests and put up a fight. I talk to the Dr out east next week and hopefully he still suggests treating with Antibiotics. I like the protocol I am on but would love to add IV antibiotics for the Lyme one more time. I thi...

Yes I have tested CDC Positive for Lyme 8 times. Doctors here in Oregon don't believe I have Lyme though only MS. I also tested positive for Clamydia Pneamonea(CPN) 2 years ago. I truly believe antibiotics make my MS go away.

I am a walking germ factory of things some believe cause MS.

MDL labs did both tests. This one is a PCR and it says negative. Do you suggest any Labs.

I just went out East and My Nuero found a 2 year old test that was Positive for CPN, he put me on the Stratton/Vanderbelt protocol . I have always taken antibiotics in the past for Lyme and they have definitly helped my MS. Well he retested the CPN and it came back negative. With no written recomend...

I did this treatment a few years ago for Lyme and never started slow. I would have some really bad Herxes. I just started again about a week ago and can't believe the fatigue I have. Good Luck.
