    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      Hello, My name is Andrea, I am a 36 female. I have battled Multiple Sclerosis since February 14, 2006. I have taken avonex (didn't work) betaseron (damaged my liver) and now am getting ready to start Copaxone. Just looking for friends with similiar problems. The world just doesn't know.

      Treatments

      Avonex Not Working
      I was first put on Avonex. It didn't help slow down the exacerbations so I had to go on a different medication.
      Baclofen Working / Worked
      I take one baclofen daily. I find it does help. I definitely do better with that without.
      Betaseron Working / Worked
      damaged my liver and I didnt' realize that was what was making me feel so bad. I retained fluid and began to swell. My liver enzymes were 5Xnormal level and my liver became enlarged. I am not happy with betaseron
      Copaxone Working / Worked
      I will start my copaxone treatment tomorrow. I am not sure how it will go but I am positive thinking about this treatment.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I have had good experience with Neurontin. I am a daily user. I don't miss a dose.
    • Close Back Pain

      Treatments

      Flexeril Working / Worked
      I am content with the use of flexeril.
      Heat Working / Worked
      the heat relieves my pain as long as I am directly on the heating pad.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      I take one 7.5 hydrocodone daily. The hydrocodone has given me a great difference in the treatment for my back pain
    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked

      Slim-Fast Working / Worked
