Well if youve red any of my posts you know I was having some issues with Avonex...The most devastating being hair loss. I met with my new neurologist yesterday (who by the way is great, im really happy I switched) anyway he said it was fine that I just stopped my Avonex "cold turkey" But I tried to convince him of me trying to go it alone with no meds and he did not think that was a good idea at all for my situation. ( 2 relapses within a month and by the way my MRI looks ) So he is reccomending Copazone. I am reading alot of information about it to make my decision. Id love your input. I am kinda nervous about some of the side effects ive heard about( like the heart palpitations and things like that ) But Im pleased to see it doesnt seem to have the flu like symptoms. Its just so confusing!!!! I dont want to take anything, its just scary, but I know I need to. MS SUCKS!!!!!
