Good afternoon,

I'm new to the site. My name is Tiffany and I was diagnosed a year ago but started having issue 3yrs ago. I have been from dr to dr to dr who finally did spinal tap to now finally a MS specialist. I really like this specialist cause she is very thorough..she did repeat MRI of brain and a first time MRI of spine.
She has confirmed without a doubt that I indeed have MS and now she is wanting to start me on oral medication instead of the Copaxone.
I joined here but I feel like you can never have too much support and especially from those that completely understand what I'm going through!

Hello fellow MS'ers

Hi Tiffany and welcome to MSWorld! You are right - we can never have too much support from others going through the same thing, so you have come to the perfect place.

You are fortunate that there are more new oral medications to choose from than ever before! To help you, we have a medication forum where people have shared their experiences with them. Don't be discouraged by any negative remarks you may find, but do become familiar with each drug so you can make an informed decision. What doesn't work for some, works well with others!

We're glad you're here and please ask questions and make comments anytime. Hope you are doing well
