(Editor’s note: above teleconferences are sponsored by Shared Solutions [Copaxone Support Group], as these are all I am aware of; however, no product preference is given. Talks usually last about an hour and the last part of the program is an open question and answer period; if you would like to ask a question, listen closely to the instructions given at the beginning of the program and put your request in early.)
