Welcome to the other side of the mountain... I'm so glad you got some answers, but sorry that you now join us over here on this side with this MiSerable disease.
I have a favorite tool to sort out the choices of the DMD's that I often recommend people look at before making their decision. It is on the MS website in the UK - I will go look for that address again. It takes you through the process of deciding what is best for your situation.
Bottom line is all of the DMD's do the same thing and work pretty much equally effective. My neuro says its like taking the Pepsi-Coke challenge . They are the same, just differences in personal preferences and needs.
I have been on copaxone for over a year, with no problems. I do my next MRI in January and we will see if it looks like it is working.
I'm sorry you have MS, but I'm very glad that you have answers.
be well,
Lulu
So sorry about your dx. But at least now you know what you are dealing with.
I am also newly dx so, unfortunately I have no answers for you. I chose Copaxone
(even though it is daily) beacuse your not supposed to get that flu like achy feeling with it.
WOW! It seems in the last 2 months or so there are several of us who have come out of Limbo and in to the land of "Diagnosed"!
Sorry I could not help out more.
TAke Care,

I think Fluffysmom uses Avonex.
I take Copaxone, but haven't had the resources in the last four months to keep up with the injections. It seems to work okay. I still have relapses, thoughl.
