Multiple Sclerosis

Every evening Joanne Nicholas prepares a treatment that keeps her condition in
check. Multiple Sclerosis took away her confidence, today that's no longer the
case.

Joanne Nicholas - "I'm feeling in control of my own health."

Dr. Robert Lisak/DMC-WSU Neurologist - "It can be a sudden loss of vision,
sudden doublevision, loss of ability to feel something."

M.S. attacks take on many forms and can happen at any time, but for the past
three years. Joanne managed to remain symptom-free thanks to a medication
called Copaxone.

Joanne - "I feel like I have a lot more energy than prior to taking this drug."

In new research published in today's Journal "Neurology," Detroit Medical
Center's Dr. Robert Lisak says his research proves not only is Copaxone
effective, but it retains its efficacy after more than three years.

Dr. Lisak - "The extended study shows the effects last, patients have less
disability."

There are three approved drugs to treat Multiple Sclerosis, Beta Seron, Avenex
and Copaxone. While Copaxone is the least convenient because it requires daily
injections, it also has the least side effects.

The other drugs may cause depression, fatigue and flu-like symptoms, Copaxone
patients don't experience this.

Joanne - "I think Copaxone for me, less side effects than the other drugs."

And despite the daily injections, the medication allows Joanne the freedom to
continue to work, travel and just plain enjoy life.

Joanne - "Go places you want to go, you do not know what tomorrow might bring."

While Dr. Lisak's research provides positive results on how Copaxone performs
over a long period of time, he says all the current M.S. drug treatments are
equally effective and this new information will help patients determine which
therapy is best for them.
