Welcome, Featherhead.

I was on Copaxone for five years, and I had no issues other than a brief period of rapid heart rate about 20 mins after my injection. Lasted about a minute.

Thanks, yes I was warned about that reaction.. Must be frightening

[Eleyne92 in reply to Featherhead]

it wasn't intense, just a bit surprising until I figured out the cause. After that, I made sure I did my injection about 30 minutes before bed so that the reaction didn't wake me up.

Me too, since 1988. Was dxed in 1990. I started on Avonex in 2005 and then went to Gilenya about 4 years ago. No problems yet although other symptoms have kicked in. Keep in touch and tell us how you're making out.
