advice about medication please recently diagnosed

Hi all, I have recently been diagnosed with MS and told I need injections to control relapses as its very active at the moment. I haven’t done much research into what’s available as its still not sunk in properly yet, so just wondered if anyone could give me some advice please x

Hi Sammyj, sorry about your diagnosis. Your best bet is to speak to your MS nurse about your options, and do some research on the net. Personally, I am on copaxone. I chose this because it has the least side effects, although you do have to inject daily. Good luck with your choice x

Also, try posting on Everyday Living, as there are more people on there who are diagnosed and are on DMD’s x

Thank you. I’m not very good with needles how bad is the injection x

Its not as bad as you think!! You actually get a device called an autoject so you dont see the needle going in or anything. Believe me you get used to it and its just a part of everyday life for me now!! When you do decide which one to go for, post on Everyday living for tips. If you go for Copaxone, I’ll give you a few for that x
