Sorry I thought I had posted this already. Some information I have posted, but seeing it again doesn’t hurt.
Repost - FYI:
Sorry in advance for the long read:
For cognitive and fatigue issues the medication Ampyra might help. It’s worth a try. See video as it mentions that it can help with walking problems or any where there is demyelination. For vision issues steroid infusion has helped others in this forum.

This is a webinar that mentions MS medications and how they compare to each other. This information is scattered all over the internet and great to have it in one webinar. A must see.
“Published on Apr 23, 2018
Join RMMSC Medical Director Dr. Timothy Vollmer for an in-depth look at disease modifying therapies (DMTs) – the front line in our fight against MS. This webinar will give you a better understanding of the treatment options for MS, including insight into how specific DMTs work, their comparative safety, and their comparative effectiveness.”

@ Avonex decreases relapses by 30% and has no effect on brain atrophy.

@ Copaxone
Decreases relapse rates by 30%
Decreases brain atrophy by 20%

@ Aubagio Tablet
Decreases relapse rates by 30%
Decreases brain atrophy by 20%

@Gelenya
Decreases relapse rates by 60%
Decreases mri activity by 60 to 70%
Decreases brain atrophy by 34%
Chance to improve symptoms is moderately high.

@ Tysabri:

Decreases brain atrophy by 45%
Don’t use this medication if you are JCV positive.

@ Tecfidera. Tablets

@ Ocrevus

Chance of improving symptoms is very high in RRMS.

Decreasing relapse rates should be a must when fighting MS because my first relapse was unexpectedly horrific. Wish I had ocrevus and it’s 80% decrease in relapse rate before eventual job loss, but that’s the breaks.

I'm an old timer I guess...19 years on Copaxone! No problems and Shared Solutions has been great! My WallyWorld insurance is making me change to generic Copaxone. My neurologist is gonna make it so I don't have to change. He says generic injectables aren't tested as well as other generics. We'll see what happens I guess😉 Good Luck @A MyMSTeam Member If you have any other questions, please ask😊

I have been on Copaxone for the past 10 yrs, no issues here.

Only MS drug I've ever taken, bout 9 years, no negative side effects and I'm a member of Shared Solutions, they're great

Copaxane wasn't strong enough for me. So I had to be switched to Tysabri. Hopefully, the Copaxane is strong enough for you.
