Bonnie’s MS Symptoms after a year on Copaxone

I still        experience fatigue,

Just          not nearly to the degree that I did in the past.

I still        have good and bad days. 

Just          not so many bad days

I still        have relapses

Just          not as many

I still        have double vision

But           I now have a prism in my glasses

I do not     have muscle weakness

But           I do have muscle spasms in my legs, I take     

                        Gabapentin

I do not     have foot drop

I do not     have restless leg syndrome

I still         have slight tremors

Just           not as often

I have       strange itching sensations at times

But           not the feeling of bugs crawling on me

I do not     have numbness and tingling

But           at times I have slight imbalance

I still        have urinary incontinence

But           only on the rare occasion

I still        have slow word recall on occasion

I still         experience forgetfulness, sometimes

I still        have short-term memory loss

I still        have some cognitive problems

I still        have impaired speech production

Just           during a relapse

I still         sensitivity to environmental heat 

Not           nearly to the same degree as in the past

I still         have trigeminal neuralgia

But           not nearly as often nor as strong
