I had a routine follow up appointment with my favorite Neurologist. My mother and Tom came with me and we had tons of fun. Tom was at the top of his game. He is very silly and has tons of energy so we basically spent the first hour laughing. The doctor was running late so we had some time.
Both my mom and Tom asked lots of questions so it was a very educational visit. I went over some of the problems I have had with Copaxone. He suggested I visit one of the nurses for more training. I was hoping for this since it might be easily resolved with a different method. He also prescribed flonase for the itchy reaction after the shot. I was trying to figure out how a nasal spray was going to help my site reactions…. but then he explained that I should just put it on my skin. 
I hope that will help. He also gave me a name of a naturopathic doctor that has education in nutrition for brain diseases. I am way excited. I want to know what supplements I should be taking and what foods I should not be eating.
He also said that Copaxone should not increase colds but I don’t think I believe him. There might not be research on it but so far…. I say it does. I got smacked upside the head with this last cold. It was horrible. I missed 3 days at the gym so I am adding a week onto my gym goal. Tom approves.

LOL-I would have wondered the same thing!
