My mom is 71 and a retired public school teacher. In Sept. 2001, she awoke and found herself unable to walk. Eventually, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Yes, she is unusual to have recieved the diagnosis so late in life. Most people are diagnosed in their 20 or 30s. A doctor later determined she may have experienced earlier episodes that went undiagnosed.

Unfortunately this is another example where the insurance company charges a co-pay that is higher than Canadian Pharmacy retail prices. Her co-pay is $1600.00 yet you and I can purchase copaxone from Canada for $11265.00, an annual saving of $5,220.00. It only takes a few minutes using "Pharmacychecker" to discover how the insurance companies and the corner pharmacy have joined together to fleece the American public.
