Copaxone and other stuff
Hi everyone! This past few weeks when I inject, I get a little bit of chest tightness. It is mild and lasts 5-10 minutes and then it’s gone. With my Friday night injection, I had the same thing but with a rush of metallic taste in my mouth. It lasted a little bit and then went away. I can deal with

Upcoming neurology appt
I am on
Copaxone
. Brain MRI showed 22 lesions and neuroquant showed bilateral atrophy of my thalamus. This will be my first appt post diagnosis. I have a list of issues that I want to ask about, but are there certain things that I should be asking about? Diet, vitamins etc.?

If I had known then, how would I have lived my life differently?
There were 3 treatment options in 2009 (2 interferons and
copaxone
). There were essentially no treatments in 1987. Had I known I had MS in 87, I wonder how I might have lived my life differently? What choices would I have made?

Copaxone screw up
I’m pretty sure I injected my
copaxone
into my thigh muscle on accident. I am in so much pain. The burn is spreading across my thigh like tree branches. It’s almost unbearable. I called shared solutions but they are gone for the day. I have an ice pack on it. How long is this going to last?

Copaxone injector2 for glass syringe
I loaded the shot, followed the directions and pressed the button. Nothing happened. I don’t know what I did wrong. I carefully took the syringe out and manually injected my left hip with my left hand (I’m right handed). I can’t reach my left hip with my right hand to inject manually. I will do it manually

Diagnosed today
I talked to my Neuro today and she confirmed that I have MS 😕 she is starting me on
Copaxone
as soon as insurance approves it. Any advice or tips? I am really overwhelmed.

Discontinuing DMTs
I'm staying on the

B12 self injections???
I had done the
Copaxone
/Glatiramer acetate injections for a short time but they were self contained. I had no instruction other than YouTube. Any advice? Assuming I'll be squeezing belly fat to do it....thoughts, direction, advice? Any videos you can recommend?

copaxone
for 20 years or so ( who is complaining? I am!

COVID 19
I’m on
Copaxone
, so not a drug that lowers your immunity. Having MS, I have an overactive immune system. So, am I in a high risk group? Should I stay home? Thoughts?

Needing Hope for the Future
Though I took
Copaxone
and ate healthier and lost weight. I'm been exposed to that protein that causes PML so I can't take aggressive meds and we were trying for one more baby.

Copay accumulator :(
I, uneasily, agreed and set up my first of the year with Mylan's generic
Copaxone
. Claim goes through to my insurer and it was not applied to my deductible. I stew on this for a few days, feeling as if I've made a grave error in my supposed proactive decision making. I, finally, call Mylan.

Relapse
Last March I started using
Copaxone
. Now I’ve had a relapse. Would I have had a relapse no matter what med I was on? Or do I need to change meds to keep relapses at a minimum? I go see my neurologist tomorrow. We’ll see.

My dentist' assistant has MS as well!
She asked what DMT I was on, and I explained to her that I was on Tecfidera because
Copaxone
was leaving me with no more injection sites even when I went to the 3 times a week dose. She said that was her first med as well and she had scars from it that she switched to Ocrevus and she loves it!

Switching DMT
Per my choice from almost two years on
Copaxone
. Neurologist is all for it. I’m VERY scared to do so due to the side effects I’m reading about. Any feedback?
