Copaxone injections after 9 months

[ptbagger]

been using Copaxone 9 months. getting an MRI done next week. Has there been significant marked differences in an MRI after 9 months. I had 20+lesions on my frontal lobe the 1st MRI with a markable amount on my spine.

I wouldn't count on any change. It takes 6-9 months for the copaxone to build in your system and start working. If you do have any MS activity, I wouldn't say that the copaxone doesn't work....it just wasn't in your system yet. I didn't find this out until about 1 year after taking the copaxone. Not one neurologist told me this. I had to find out on this forum myself....good luck.

How did your scan go??

LR1234, thanx for asking. My MRI revealed no new lesions and no inflamation. That appears to be a success so far. I will know better in 6 months using the 1st 9 months as the base line for Copaxone. XXXXXXX be well

Glad to hear there is no new inflammation etc.

I have quite a few lesions in my frontal lobes too....Do they effect you cognitively?
