Second thoughts about copaxone
I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS 1,5 year ago. The hypothesis of my neurologist was that i had it for at least 10 years before the diagnose because of the numbness, tingling and other symptoms that i was experiencing. They never were severe until 1,5 year ago (when we finally found out that i have it).
The plaques we found (brain and spinal) in the MRI were 10 and small. So my neurologist suggested that i should with the mild treatment such as copaxone. I'm on the drug for a year now, but we found 2 new small plaques and i am experiencing more symptoms and more often and he gave me medrol pills (steroids) because im relapsing. My next exam is in 1 month. If we find anything, neurologist said that maybe we should go with a pill but he resisting going with a more heavy treatment because of the findings and age. He thinks its too soon.
I am starting to think that copaxone isn't effective for me or the drug is doing nothing to stop the progression of the disease. I wanna hear your experiences and thoughts. I'm frustrated because now i feel i was better before the treatment, i know this is wrong, but it is how i feel.
