Multiple Sclerosis
"I have been on Copaxone for 14 years.  I have been fortunate in not having any more major flare ups and have remained fairly stable.  I do have the tiredness and lack of energy at times, but sometimes feel so good I can almost forget I have MS.  The first 12 years were the 20 mg daily injections and had the usual problems with site injection lumps and itching.  I was changed to the 40 mg 3 times per week approximately two years ago and recently went to two injections per week because the insurance coverage is changing.  I am going from my regular insurance to Medicare with a supplemental plan and will not have to pay $4,000 per year out of pocket.  In my opinion I felt the best doing the 20 mg daily than taking 40 mg 3 times/week."
