Greetings, all. I just stumbled across this forum and thought I would say "hi". I'm a 36yo male, dx 12/99, on Copaxone now, but also using diet to do what I can. I've had a bit of a symptom flare-up recently with my stress skyrocketing. I'm trying to deal with getting disability insurance forms finished and looking at social security disability. I just can't keep the hours at work up to a managable level. I'm probably going to have to get rid of the house, too. Luckily I've been able to stay fairly positive, even though I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
I'll have to spend some time looking around. I like what I've seen here so far. The news page looks really useful.
Heya, folks.
I didn't like the idea of taking drugs that could make me feel even worse, so I only adjusted my diet (I was already a vegan). I did rather well with that. After a while, a friend convinced me to find a new neurologist, as I had left my old one due to his "bedside" manner. He sent me in for another MRI, and it showed some more scarring, albeit minor. I decided to try Copaxone, as it seemed to be the most likely not to cause me issues. I think that was a little over a year ago.
