Is it Just My Imagination?

[stepsforNeeC]

Hi everyone, if any community members have ever experienced this, please let me know. I've shared the hold debacle about insurance wows and now taking generic Copaxone (Glatiramate Acetate). My dosage is 40 mgs three times per week and my regimen is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I swear on my injection days my appetite seems like I have started Lent before Christmas! I do my best to eat clean (fish, fruits, lentils etc.) and exercise, but since the vein surgery moderate working out is just starting to come back into my routine. So these six pounds "gotta go." Share, please and I will talk with my doctor as well.

Peace and Blessings

It might just be because you have been taking it easy? Trying to get better? IDK.?. I'm on Copaxon, they tried to switch me, but my neuro overwrote it. Your might be able to.🤗💕

I have just started on Glatopa a generic for copaxone due to insurance changes. I find myself going through the same things you are. My Doctor swears that he can change me back to Copaxone if need be after this first month. I hope that is true. I'm having major lower back pain. I hope to speak to and others about my situation. Thanks for sharing with me. I will keep you posted. Keep smiling.

Thanks so much Chrissy, God, I thought I was going crazy. I just feel different; not sick but some days not really like I used to feel and yes my back has been hurting! Wow, sometimes I'm a little afraid to share, but we're all family connected together to help support and learn from each other You Keep Smiling.

Peace and Blessings

NeeC ,

I took my injection today and I just don't feel right. I can't wait to see my nurolgist.

I'm so sorry....go to the ER, but call your doctor first so the process can be at least a little bit "fast tracked" - that's what I do with my doctor. Sometimes it helps, helps it doesn't it me posted, Praying for you to feel better. I called to start the process to get Switched Back to Brand Copaxone! I can't this Generic.

Peace and Blessings -

I have an appointment with my neurologist tomorrow at 11:00. Thanks so much for caring. I really appreciate this platform. It lets us communicate with one another.
