Started treatment 6/08 and spent the summer on the beach!!Rarely getting tired and not feeling fatigued since I began.Occasionally I'll forget a word or function I was about to perform.Can't praise this change high enough.I am able to walk as long as I want,sunbathe hike, climb.My relationships are back where They were before I got sick.I'm no longer subject to lasting depression or foul moods for no reason.I haven't woken up a single day feeling anything but grateful.

I guess it is working, I don't know... I've been on it for 6 months now, I'm not sure if it is too soon to tell. I've had a couple of "flare-ups".
I was started on Copaxone right away but then lost my job and insurance,so lost it for almost a year.It has stayed pretty even- not good but OK. Never had any problem with the shots. ..just get depressed when something comes up that I can no longer handle.
