Injection Sites
Has anyone taking
Copaxone
found that the back of the arms and the back of the hips are difficult? Any suggestions on how to inject, manually though. Also, I was told sometimes your doctor can advise you on different areas to inject other than the normal seven sites recommended for
Copaxone
.

My introduction
Used
Copaxone
for a bit more than 4 years, then switched to Tecfidera. I prefer the capsules. I've never blogged or used chats, so this is a real unique experience. I read through a few posts before deciding to write this.

Hello, anyone else in a similar situation
Tried
Copaxone
but the reaction to the shots got worse and worse. Been on avonex for about 4 months. Sometimes light flu like symptoms, a lot of depression, I cry at anything.

Living 2 years with MS
Following DMT therapy with
Copaxone
(20 mg injection on a daily basis). My symptoms (fatigue, foot drop, balance problems) and MRI (only 2 lessions in the spine - brain is clear) show it is MS, but I am not 100% sure if it is so, or if it is a MS mimic desease.

Hi my name is Kathy. I just joined today. This looks like a great community of supporters.
She treated me until December 2012, at which time she said, "make sure you keep all your MRIs because the medication your on (
Copaxone
) masks the signs of MS and insurance will try to say you no longer have MS." I didn't realize she was telling me I was about to lose my insurance (3 days later).

Avonex vs Copaxone
I have narrowed it down to avonex and
Copaxone
, yet I'm still unsure which one to go with. Does anyone have any experience or could possibly help me weigh out the pros and cons. Feeling a little overwhelmed. Thank you in advance for your help!

Reactions to Copaxone
I was just diagnosed in May 2016 and have started using
Copaxone
40mg 3 times a week. Every time I give myself an injection it immediately burns and swells up like a humongous mosquito bite. It gets red and a very painful sensations shoot down from the injection site.

It's about time!
I tried Betaseron, then
Copaxone
, then Aubagio and finally Tecfidera, which is what I take now, along with duloxetine and modafinil.

New to the community but not to MS
I was put on the daily
Copaxone
injects and did well for about 2 years then started having major rashes and hives from the injections. So I switched to Tecfidera thinking that would be better. It wasn't.

Primary Progressive MS
Copaxone
lowers your immune system which concerns me. Does anybody know if
Copaxone
slows down PPMS or any other drugs that will help me. I have balance, numbness, burning tingling pains in legs and arms?

MS for at least 36 years
I was on Avonex for 3 years (2001-2004) and then
Copaxone
(2006-2009) but currently am taking no MS drugs, though I do take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. I taught in the Chicago City College system for several years and have a Ph.D. I also worked as a freelance translator for many years.

Working with MS
I started on
Copaxone
, then Tecfidera, and am now on Tysabri. I have only 3 lesions in my brain. Lesions in my spinal column are my major problem.

40 years of adapting
He was on
Copaxone
until he turned 62 when the neurology studies showed that by that age it was fairly useless to continue DMD therapy. He enjoys telling people we do everything we want to do just often in a different way than the norm.
