Hi ,
Iım new to this group, but old to MS I was diagnosed exactly 10 years ago this
month, but think I had it much longer than that. I donıt think there is anything
any of us can do to avoid getting MS, except maybe be born in a tropical zone.
Itıs not your fault you have MS. You didnıt do anything wrong. It is a shocking
diagnosis, but itıs not as scary having MS as it seems at first. Personally
and this isnıt for everyone I found that going to therapy helped me deal with
it.
My understanding of Copaxone is that itıs a sort-of decoy drug instead of your
immune system attacking healthy cells, it attacks the Copaxone instead. This is
a very generalized understanding. Your neuroıs office might have an ³MS nurse²
on staff who can explain it in more detail.
Hang in there.
