A year on Copaxone and my lesions are less aggressive and fewer, but they're still popping up. Doctor thinks we can do better. I'm pretty bummed, since now we are moving into higher side effect/risk category as far as drugs are concerned. I'm taking some time to contemplate my options and staying on Copaxone for the time being. Have you moved from Copaxone to another drug? Which drug did you move to?
My top 3 list currently are (not in any order) are
Tecfidera (stomach issues when i already have them ehhh)
Tysabri (a little more comfortable with this but PML is still in the back of my mind)
Waiting on Ocrelizumab (and hoping insurance will cover me)
Ocrelizumab was the first drug my doc suggested, of course, since everyone is so excited abut it. I am hopeful as well. I just don't know that my insurance will even consider it since I've only been on one other DMD.
Buhhhh!!
Lots to think about.
Any insight?
