This post is especially for those of you just starting out on your MS treatment, aaaahhhemmm.....Melissa and Kristin. It may seem like a really long road right now and the injections may seem TERRIBLE and cause you GREAT anxiety, but you will get through it. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I know we'll be on the injections indefinitely, but since reaching my 1 year milestone I feel like it's a walk in the park....well, maybe that's exaggerating a little, but things do get better.....I promise:) You guys can do it!!
It is such a liberating feeling to be where I am today and look back at Nicole one year ago. And I feel so proud for sticking to the treatment....no pun intended:)
Oh ya, and I'd like to thank Doug for letting me scream as loud as I want, curse, and even cry sometimes when they really, really hurt....you've been an awesome nurse! Or is a male nurse called a murse??
I know I thank you all a lot for being so supportive, but thanks again. I wouldn't be where I am today without each of you.

Hi, that's a lot of injections, and you must be on Copaxone (because it's 1xDay), which is the weakest MS drug. Have you considered infusing with Tysabri instead? It's once-per-month, but nevertheless is much stronger (cut 68% of relapses).
I don't know how we are expected to keep injecting. I am on Avonex, and 1xweek is bad enough, especially as it makes me sick all the time. But I am trying to make my neuro agree to Tysabri.
bye now,
Martha
