First I want to thank you all for being my support...you have all been absolutely FABULOUS!!
So had my MRIs today and my appt. w/MS Specialist.
MRIs- Compared to 5 active brain lesions in my brain in Feb. today I only have 1 active brain lesion!! YAY!! Go Copaxone!! Also the nurse did an awesome job with injecting my contrast and did not blow through my vein! The cervical and thoracic spine to my Drs. knowledge has no lesions however we are waiting for the Radiologists report to be sure.
The pain, muscle spasticity, tremors, and spasms are unfortunately here to stay....Hello Baclofen I took my first 10mg Baclofen tonight and it really helped, it didn't take it all away but it did definately take the edge off and offered me a bit of relief, I could actually walk
Just a question, why do they have you start Baclofen so slowly? Week 1- 1 pill at night, Week2- 2x per day, Week 3- 3x per day. I wish I could just start out w/ the 3 per day
So Doc said no need right now for Tysabri since it seems the Copax is working well...she's going to do another MRI in 3 months to make sure. I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. Of course I still feel like it's chained to my legs but....what are ya gonna do?
