So I think I've decided on my DMS!

[GorgeousGeek]

Ive decided to go with Copaxone, after much hard deliberation and waiting on the result of a chest X-ray and anti dsDNA results . They were normal so I guess that ruled out sarcoidosis and lupus? Idk
I was debating between Copaxone and Avonex.  I had pros an cons for both but I decided I would save the interferon treatments for if my MS got worst. Not sure if that's logical but oh well. The flu like side effects and the IM injection was what made me decide against Avonex. Plus my neuro didn't seem to keen on it. I work crazy hours , 8,10, and 12 hour shifts any given day Sunday thru Saturday soooo....yeah. I figured doing the Copaxone injection every night was better for me than once a week with flu like symptoms.
Anywho, I have to go fill out some form I guess. The nurse said it would take about 2 weeks to get it going. Or  something like that. That's around Christmas! But at least I won't be working around that time.

Any advice would be helpful. =]  
I've also adapted my blog to account for my MS diagnosis. Www.msgorgeousgeek.com
Blogging super helps....

I started Copaxone in October. I chose it for the same reasons. I work full time and have two little boys to take care of so I wasn't ready for the flu like symptoms. I have done fine on it. There can be quite an injection site reaction at times but nothing unbearable for me so far.

Congrats on making the decision - that is always the hard part, worrying about what choice to make.

Most people do fine on copaxone and if you search this community for Copaxone you will find tons of conversations. . I would write more but have to make emergency run to the dentist  :-(
