Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well, this hasn't happened in several years but I went to my neurologist this afternoon to get the results of my annual MRI and the news was awful. Apparently my MRI with contrast lit up like a Christmas tree and I've got new damage in numerous parts of my brain. So I've got to have 5 days of solu-medral drip. This sucks, solu-medrol makes me so sick. I almost would prefer to stay in the relapse! This is what I get for skipping my Copaxone shot for months at a time. Incredibly, I'm one of the 38% of people the stinking shot actually helps. That's baffling considering my usual awful odds. So I'm a little angry at myself over this because next week is going to be in and out of the hospital getting my veins pumped full of hell in a bag. Just had to vent. So my advice to those with RRMS, seriously, no matter what you read on statistics about any medicine you're on, don't skip it. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 ..I'm so sorry about your relapse Amy . But please don't be so down on yourself for stopping the copaxone. Who's to say it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't and anyway, beating yourself up just adds stress. Try to think 'just 5 days, then 4, etc' ... hugs, Cait In a Bad Bad BAD Relapse Well, this hasn't happened in several years but I went to my neurologist this afternoon to get the results of my annual MRI and the news was awful.
