^^To add further, PDoc, hasn't asked me, my counts, but I still have 23 pills in the bottle filled 8/28/13; That was a 60 count. I didn't open that one, until sometime in the fall. I refilled the Jan '14 one, because it was a brand new script that he'd had faxed over to the pharmacy, didn't want it floating back and a pain to fill, when I needed to. I had 2 this week, but none last week. The old expiration date of that last script was 12/23/13(exp on pills is 8/28/14--discard date). I see him, every other month, pretty much. Like I wrote, he can track, based upon my refills. On top, of the follow up appointments. It's been 5 years, that I've been in my PDocs office. My neurologist, referred me, to him.
My neurologist, at this point, feels my MS may be a benign case. I went almost two years without any MS meds(those meds are really scary, heavy duty, meds), and in two years between my MRI's, though I've a 'too many to count' amount of lesions on my brain and several more that were discovered in my spinal fluids, when I had a spinal tap, I've no new lesion growth. I fare well on my neuro exams. Subtle balance, very subtle balance issue, and my eyes when examed come up 20/25;20/20...
This perhaps, is no cure, but if it helps this patient, lead a productive life, even working in a rather hot kitchen(ha!ms!Ha! take that MS!---heat is bad for MS

) I do my part, and this med, is prescribed.
