Does anyone else feel like Copaxone is nothing more than vinegar? That's how i feel because i've been on it for 2 months and already had a relapse and it's lasted twice as long as my first 2 attacks since January. It's also different symptoms and i have 10 new lesions. Am i wrong in thinking this stuff is supposed to be helping me? Not coinciding with the worsening of my disease.

" Hi,

Don't give up... Copaxone works very slowly I started to see big difference at 6 months.. call Shared Solutions and talk to nurse ask her "what average time is to see some improvements. My neuro and Shared had different views on time factors "

" I call it Nail Polish Remover

if you read the ingredients.. they're in the same family.

squirt some on your nails and see if it doesn't take off the nail polish "

" Copaxone takes about 6 months to really become effective. Most docs give it 6 months to a year to determine if it is an effective treatment method for a patient. "

" I am a 3 month CX user and feel the same way. My symptoms went away with REBIf at 4 months and now they are returning slowly and weak but they are coming back stronger. I knew this when I decided to take this drug that you have a LUL time. I just pray that I don't get new lesions.

10 new lesions are a lot and I would be aggressive at your decision to hold off for that 4-6 month mark or start deciding your next move just in case. I am researching mal-absorption with exzemaparent because I am very low vit.s and Ldn because some use it with Cx I have not research that yet and doing it with my doc.

just be aggressive, goodluck "
