Hello everyone. I am new to the forum, but not new to MS. Was diagnosed in 2001 after double vision and MRI's. Was on Avonex (4years), had our first child, changed to Copaxone, had second child, restarted Copaxone, and did quite well through all of that. Had only a few minor flares. Now, I have had 2 new cervical cord lesions in the past 4 months, luckily only with sensory symptoms, but still worrisome in the cord. Had 3 courses of IV steroids since Feb and now am switching to Rebif - in my second week of titration.
I was feeling very comfortable with my MS for several years, but now I am nervous about it again. Also, I don't have very much patience for feeling poorly, so it is hard for me to take the meds that give me side effects. I am lucky that I have very few bothersome or disabling effects, however they are still there and make me nervous.
So, that is my story. Sorry to ramble. I will probably be on now and gain, but I have a busy job and 2 small kids, so, no promises!!! Thanks!
