  • I started on Copaxone. It was great at first, no side effects. I developed injection site reactions and basically ran out of places to inject. This does not happen to everyone!

  • September: Join the local Y so I can swim until my injury heals. Fill out Food and Exercise Diary faithfully. Remember to breathe so 7th grade doesn't give me a coronary. School starts tomorrow and it has already been painful!

  • I see you have no replies as of yet! Thought I'd lend some moral support. I have SP MS. After my diagnosis in 2005, I did everything wrong! When something I used to be able to do easily became hard, I got scared and stopped doing it. I can see from your post that you will not be letting fear get the best of you! Feel free…

  • Hi, Malika! My name is Daisy. I am 46 and have secondary progressive ms. I am so glad you told your story. I just joined MFP today. I put in a modest goal of 20 minutes of exercise 5x a week. I don't know what the heck I will be doing for 20 minutes! I am struggling with a back problem much less serious than yours. So you…
