Thanks Nikki!
Haven't been great but doing okay. The last relapse (Dec/Jan) was confirmed. I'm feeling much better since then, but a few of the symptoms have persisted and are probably permanent.
My doctor has been recomending treatment which I have been putting off...as they don't fit in wiht my denial plan
. But I have always said i would reconsider thearpy if things got worse.
Basically Annovex and Rebif are out because I've suffered depression in the past (pre ms) and really don't won't to risk anything that might put me back there. So that left Copaxone. Given my lifestyle, it doesn't really fit and would be such an adjustment that I was reluctent to start.
I was then offered the trial. I think it's the best way to go. I would be happy to chance one more year without treatment, so I don't mind getting the placebo. But from earlier trials, it seems this drug is showing results of 60% reduction in relapse, compared to 33% of the normal dmd.
So. it's kind of a cop out for me, in terms of not having to make a Definite decision about treatment and leaving it to the chance of the study, but I can leave at any time so I have nothing to lose.
i am meeting the research team to test my compatipility in the next few weeks. I will let you all know how I do and if I'm accepted, I'll keep you updated.
