Thumbs up New local neurologist

I saw my new doctor on Thursday and he was very kind, a good listener, seemed very knowledgable about MS and was also a hugger.

He said I should just keep doing what I'm doing now since it's working and that when the newer formulation of Copaxone comes out that is a three times a week version, I should switch to that. I think he's a keeper!!

Good for you, Wiz! Makes you almost look forward to going to the doctor, huh? In any case, being comfortable, even happy with, your doctor is very important.

He said that a new formulation of Copaxone will be coming out that is taken three days a week, like Rebif. That will be great for those of us who don't like the daily shot and also will give our skin a chance to heal between shots.

Here is a link with info.
