I haven't posted here in a long time. I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago. My symptoms are minor - vibrations in legs mostly. I get a little tired on occasion, but as long as I exercise, get 8 hours of sleep and eat ok, I am doing fine. My MRI's have been stable since diagnosis. I go for my next one in March.
I have been on Copaxone since the start. I now have 4 spots where my fat layer is gone and have indents in my skin. I have switched up (with my dr's ok) my injection spots, but sometimes get huge bruises that take a week or so to go away.
I know this is not a big deal. I don't care about the my "divots", but I feel like maybe I am getting needle fatigue. I know this med has virtually no side effects and seems to be doing its job. Am I being a big baby for considering switching? So many other meds have side effects that I am hesitant. Should I just suck it up and keep going with a medication that really seems to be working?
I may just need a "snap out of it" smack. I realize that I am in a very good place and have it much better than many others.
THanks.
