On Copaxone for nearly six months now.....

I am 37 years old and was diagnosed with MS in March 2022. I was started on copaxone. Is it normal to be on Copaxone for nearly 6 months and I still have tightness of muscles, my fingers still jerk and intense pain in my arms. My brain fog did lift for the most part, however, I am still having a hard time remembering things....I never had any acute attacks like vision loss, inability to walk etc just severe pain and muscle tingling along with twitching of certain muscles and that creepy crawly feeling. I am starting to think that maybe I have been misdiagnosed and that I have a different neurological disease which the docs are not picking up on? or is it normal for copaxone to take so long to take effect? or is this life with MS?

Hello, welcome to the club! It sounds like you are just going through life with ms. I got diagnosed August 2021 and I'm still trying to adjust. I have had the vision problems, and I struggle to walk. I am currently on day 2 of a relapse and it sucks. I currently have ms hug, which is just great 👍🏻. If you are concerned about being misdiagnosed talk to your neurologist. They are there to listen. Take care x
