@laney- I switched neuros and those were the choices I was given. I actually lost the information the new doc gave me but I looked each one up on line. I liked the Aubagio a lot except for the chance of increased blood sugars. Since I am diabetic that is a serious concern for me. Although the pharma reps will never admit it, but copaxone threw my sugars all over the place and caused a significant weight gain and the side effects were nightmarish. The new neuro did a whole lot of testing and discovered that I have a nodule on my thyroid. So I will not be taking any MS medication until I know that the nodule is is just that and not something more sinister. If all is well, I will try the teficdera first hoping I can get past the two months of adjustment because the side effects are 'gut wrenching' from what I hear.

both my GP and my Neuro are women, of course, and they think I have to many flare ups. I average about one two to three day flare each month and a bad relapse twice a year.I love my copaxone. because it doesn't kill all of my defenses. I think I should stick with the copaxone until my mri shows a difference. cool lines you are wise what do you think?
