*40mg Copaxone if later not MS??*
Is there any danger if someone takes 40mg Copaxone 3 x week but it later turns out they really don't have MS afterall? Just wondering how dangerous--thanks.

I have heard of people being told they have MS but then they are told it was something else & I think there is always a possibility of receiving an incorrect dx as MS can mimic many things on MRI especially. If you are really concerned I would seek a second opinion.
As Alex has said sometimes people who have had only a single attack of MS which is called CIS will commence a DMD. There is a chance that it may remain a single attack & never return but there's is also the chance it will come back again. By commencing a DMD like Copaxone you are giving yourself a much better chance.
The DMD's come with side effect but as long as you are monitored with your blood work I don't see it causing you harm. I can see it benefitting you greatly if you do have MS though. :-)
I hope this helps you a little.
Karry.
