copaxone support group

There's a great Gilenya support group on Facebook. People are on there that have been on G for many years. It's a very helpful group with lots of experience between all the members. You can post questions there too.

Hi all. I was wondering if there is any support group for ppl with incidently found thyroid nodules. This diagnosis creates a lot of anxiety and I am lookking for support. Looks like internet serves you with only horror stories. Thanks!

Our hope is to bring everyone together in the area who are fighting this not only online, but to organize monthly gatherings where we can meet and talk in person and form a true in person support group. Let me know if you are in the Acadiana area and are interested!

How has perimenopause affected others with the screwed up hormones, MS and the emotions. The weaker my legs become the more emotional I become. I have been on Copaxone for a month, I never used any thing before but alternative methods. I thought I was blessed not being so affected by MS, or so I thought, Looking for support and backup on this situation.

I have some questions. I am now in the process of getting my prescription for Copaxone and one of my questions is does the medication help with side effects from the ms such as vertigo also it seems as if my memory is not what it was not sure if its just from being stressed from learning I have ms or not.

Trying to get information, from fellow mommies, who have been on copaxone and if you breast fed and went on copaxone right after delivery...did you have any negative side effects. I have my opinions and done my reseearch, talked to all types of doctors, lactation, I don't need persuaded,just looking for personal experiences.

) Given that my living really requires my sight and maintaining my cognitive function, my partner and I talked with the neurologist and came to a group consensus that it is best to treat the increasing lesion count and multiple attacks as RRMS and start DMD therapy with Copaxone. The risk vs. benefit vs. cost was pretty clear. Thanks for the support during my time here.

because this study, like many others, was supported by the drug co. that developed, produces, markets and distributes Copaxone. So I guess we take the info with a grain of salt, and hope that the study was designed appropriately and objectively, and that results are reported accurately and ethically. If so, and the encouraging results are repeated in future studies, then it really would be great news for Copaxone users.

//www.ehealthme.com/ds/copaxone/hallucinations,+mixed "On Aug, 31, 2013: 9,277 people reported to have side effects when taking Copaxone. Among them, 5 people (0.05%) have Hallucinations, Mixed." the most recent was one person in 2011. It would be difficult to prove hallucinations were a side effect of copaxone, based on those very small numbers. There are no withdrawal symptoms from going off copaxopne.

I saw someone recently presented the idea to start a smoking support group for pregnant moms who are having a hard time kicking the habit. I think that's a good idea. I am 21 weeks and smoke one cigarette a day to one every to or three. it's getting a little easier but when I gt upset it's still my go too. I used to smoke a pack every two days before I found out I was pregnanat at 4 weeks so considering that I think im doing well.

I forgot to mention that I was trying to start a chronic pain support group here in my city...does anyone have any info on this type of thing? or do you have one in your area? the organization is called American Chronic Pain Association and they sent me some info on getting the group started and now I need to find a room to hold the meetings at..

I thank you ladies , if it wasn't for this site I would feel so alone & depressed. So much going on in my life & I feel like you guys are my support group. Even though we may not know each other personally, I love that we all are here to help one another, rather than insult & bash each other. SO, thank u all.

Ask your doctor if there is a support group in your area. Some people on the board organize lunches and other get togethers. There are a number of people on the board that live in California, so perhaps you can meet one of them.

Hi everyone. Just want to ask you something. Has anyone used cortisone with Copaxone together? is it ok to take the both at the same time??

I am terrified of needles, but all the other medications side effects scare me away from them, to where I am more inclined to go with the injections. I was drawn to Copaxone, because of the seemingly lack of side affects and the fact that it has been around forever without PML, or other scary things. My neuro suggested Copaxone, and also, Plegridy. Any input on either of these? I apologize if this is rambling on, but I'm confused. Thanks for any input you might have!

I was put into the secondary progressive group and am not sure what they will put me on. I heard copaxane makes you gain weight and leaves hard bumps on your legs. Vain, yes I know. So if anyone would be so kind as to share their experiences, I would greatly appreciate it.

2006, I was put on Betaseron for a while, but had to discontinue because I never got over the flu like symptoms. I was then put on Copaxone which I did well on, but then stopped taking on my accord. My LP came back negative, but my MRI shows lesions in my cerebellum and brain stem.

My question is how common is it for a married couple to both be diagnosed with MS? I can understand if they meet at an MS support group, but that is not the case with us at all. We are both due to start copaxone together at the same time hopefully very soon. I would appreciate any and all feedback.
