Advice & Tips: I started taking Copaxone four years ago this coming December and I recently had an MRI that the neurologist stated was "remarkably stable." The MRI showed no new lesions and only one larger lesion. I had thought that I experienced an exasperation, and I may have, but Copaxone has really worked well for me. That's despite the fact that I sometimes forget to take it with the memory issues I do have.
