Now I don't think it was the best idea. The office manager came to me with some phone numbers they got from there lawyer regarding who to contact if I needed any help with disability, Right, they just wanted to know what rights they have.
They also took me out of a position I loved & was very good at, even with MS. I work with a guy who makes more mistakes then everyone else put together, has had complaints from everyone including the customers but no one cares.
I confronted the office manager telling him I wanted my old job back but he said we noticed I made a few mistakes, forgot 1 minor thing & suddenly I'm not capable. If I made these mistakes and not had MS it would be no big deal. I also deal with she doesn't look sick "look". The only thing that's letting MS interfere with my life is everyone else.
You don't have to justify anything to anyone. I do however have a few friends with MS that I get together with & we all get to gripe about our week. It doesn't sound like it but I will always choose to be open about my MS hoping the more people who know the more educated people will become about this disease. I wish you luck and do what makes you feel comfortable.

I was kept very drugged for 3 days & shortly there after I started taking estrogen. I really had no problems with ppremenopausal symptoms. I am now down to .5mg to keep the hot flashes away beacuse that does bother my MS.
It was the best thing I ever did & your sister just needs to decide what's best for her. Please keep in touch & let me know what she decides.

Yes, I had mono twice, chicken pox 3x's. The Dr's said this was possible because it was always very localized, face then stomach, then legs. They said till I have a full blown case it could still reoccur. I've always been weird:)
I use to always get strp throat, like every couple of months untill my mom(worry wart) let them take them out.

I have a friend who sees a Dr who treats it as allergies & with his treatments it's gone. How I wish it was this simple, imagine a cure for under $50.

I'm beginning to think all these different drugs are making me feel worse. This is my 3rd relapse since January, guess it is the MS:) Hope you all have a great 4th.

I chose Coaxone because it has the least side effects, but it is a daily shot. The only issue I have with it is I usually get a fairly large welt that may last a day or 2. The other drugs can have flu like symptoms that last can last 24-36hrs. I have a friend who is on Rebif and she takes it at night with 2 tylenol & does just fine. Good luck & keep us posted.

I don't pay anything for my Copaxone.
I use an autoject now but I know you can't use it with the Avonex
How is it giving yourself the shot & does it hurt? Copaxone stings & tends to leave a big red welt that last a few days.
Thanks again

Hope everyone is handling the heat:( I have a few questions for those taking Avonex. The Dr wants to switch me from Copaxone to Avonex & I'm worried about the flu like symptoms from it. My question is do you finally adjust to it or do you always feel like crap for a few days after? Also do they offer an assistance program like the do with Copaxone?
