It’s been over 2 years since my last post, so basically MS-wise I’m doing pretty good. We moved back to Oregon last year and I have a new neurologist. I have been on injectible medications for 18 years, so I asked to start using the daily oral medication - Aubagio. It turns out that one of the side effects is increased blood pressure. My PCP doubled my blood pressure medication, but it kept climbing. When it hit 206/112 I decided it wasn’t worth the risk. Aubagio takes a long time to get out of your system, so I have tripled my original blood pressure medication until it gets back to a normal range. I was able to get an appointment with my neuro on Dec. 7th, so I will ask him to put me back on Copaxone 3x weekly injections.
Aside from the Aubagio fiasco and emotional issues, things are pretty good.
