My Life with MS

Well, I'm considering stopping my MS meds. I have been on Copaxone for almost a year and I'm sick of it. I don't feel any better and it's burning up my insurance. At over $2600 a pop it's kind of ridiculous. They also have switched our mail order pharmacy again and they keep sending me some place else. Needless to say, I am sick of it all.

The only way for me to know if it is actually helping is to have another MRI. I have had 3 in the past 2 years and don't want another right now. I think sometimes it's better no knowing. I know Copaxone doesn't help with side effects, but I dont' feel I have ever fully recovered from the last exacerbation. My numbness has never subsided and it has gotten worse over the past 2 years.

Oh well, I'll have to let you know.
