Switching DMD'S

[meissie47]

Has anyone out there ever went from Copaxone to Ty back to Copaxone.
My neuro wants me to go on GY, because I had a flair and 3 new lesions to develop. Said it would not be a good idea to go from ty back to copa. Told him I would need time to think about it.
That was last yr. Now I think I might be in another flair. Went to see him 2wks ago and he said I could go backl on Copaxone. So I reminded him of what he told me last Nov.
He said well yes but its better than nothing.

He feels like the copaxone is working but not to it's full capacity as when I first started. I was on it for 2 1/2 yrs. with no problems.

Anybody been through this or similar?
Thanks,
Meissie

Boy can I relate to your post!

My neuro is wanting me to start on Tysabri, but I don't want to switch. I've been on Avonex for 15+ years, I've had a few flares (2003 optic neuritis & 2008 left side numbness/weakness) but my MRI's have been stable.

I'm going for another MRI on Monday, if he sees any changes, he's pushing Tysabri. I'm scared of Tysabri. I don't know what I'll do.

Wishing you luck in your decision!
