Wednesday, May 21, 2008 | A General Update story

I'm pretty upset... been crying for hours... started in the drs office.  I told him I dont want to take the meds anymore and he told me it was like "knowing I was going to be in a horrible car accident in 5 years and still not wearing a seatbelt".

He said my mri's were worse... I now have 2 dawsons fingers instead of just the one.  He gave me the name of another dr so I can get a second opinion.  I'm going to do just that.  He said if I didn't want to get back on the interferon I should start copaxone.  That's a shot every day.  OMG!!!!  I can't even imagine starting this again!  I have been feeling soooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!  I can't handle this. I feel sane again.... normal.... healthy!!!!!!!!!  Why do I have to poison myself??????????  who says it'll help??

so depressed..........

    Oh girl, I take Copaxon and had the same fears as you but you know what its GREAT. Yea the one shot a day thing is the pits but it comes with an auto injector which is wonderful and it goes under the skin and not in the muscle so WWWWOOOOO HHHHOOOO!! for me! But if you are feeling good that is one thing.....then again so is new dawson fingers! I have them everywhere but so far everything is gooding pretty well.
    Hope this helps and I hope you know you are in my prayers!
    XOXO

    damn...i don't know what to say...you know some people react differently to other meds than others do some people love the interferons some hate em some love copax some hate it...It all depends on the individual. That doctor was very forward. Perhaps he was just concerned about you and kinda wanted to give you some "tough love" to get u to take the shot.
    Whatever you decided it is your body and your life.
