Tips for achieving good long-term results
By starting on Copaxone treatment, you have taken an important step in managing your disease. However, setting realistic long-term goals for therapy is also an essential part of managing your MS. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been on therapy before, learning more about what your therapy can (and cannot) do for you will help you to set realistic expectations for your therapy and move ahead with confidence.
Although there is no “cure” for MS, approved therapies like Copaxone treat MS by altering the natural course of the disease by reducing the frequency of relapses. Thinking about your therapy in terms of long-term goals rather than an immediate fix will help you stay on therapy and stay positive.
