Copaxone
I have been on
Copaxone
since 2006 and never big problems. Only issue is the lumps and indents to my skin. And have went from 7days a week to the 3 times a week but still the same reaction. And the big issue with myself to is remembering to do it.

My story
I have been on
Copaxone
and tecfidera. I have horrible spasticity in my hamstrings and back. Which I believe is the corporate for me not walking. I have been off tecfidera now for at least eight months. I am on alkaline diet. Mostly all vegetables Sometimes some meat.

Question for MS veterans
I take only
Copaxone
and have no fever, but since getting this cold, I'm having more muscle spasms and weakness. What do you say? Just coincidence?Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm sure you already have a handle on site reactions, but thought I'd share what has worked best for me during the 4 months of trial and error. I follow the protocol for 5 minutes of heat to the injection site before injecting, followed immediately with about 1-2 minutes of cold pack application. Instead

Hello!
Neuro started me on
Copaxone
. Felt progressively better 2013 & had no new lesions or obvious relapses. 2014 - 1 brain lesions, 2015 - another brain lesion. All the while, for 2 yrs Neuro not concerned. I did have PT after complaining of hip and leg pain/stiffness & generally"felt like crap".

Approved to start Tecfidera (long)!
I'm thinking because I have met my deductible for the year thanks to the cost of
Copaxone
. Anyway, I have a delivery date of April 25th scheduled as I am leaving for vacation 2 weeks from today, and don't want to start a new rx while I'm away on vacation.

Acupoints Massage Therapy For PPMS
By the end of 2014, I stopped
Copaxone
and Solumedrol IV. In March 2015, I met an in-home therapeutic massage therapist. She specializes in Acupoint (acupuncture point) Massage.

Hi all! I am a 33 yr old mothe...
I decided to go with
Copaxone
since it's been around a while. Sadly it didn't work for me, I experienced the flu-like Sx and thought I was dying by my 3rd injection. I decided to find a neurologist who specializes in MS.

Just checking in...and happy Easter!
I will be finally starting medication (
copaxone
) this week, so I am hoping it goes well. I was off work for a about three weeks during my flare up, which was very scary- but since then I have returned to work and chasing around my two crazy little boys.

Arealgijoe's Intro
I was put on, (my choice)
Copaxone
following the RRMS Dx, now getting the new generic version. I had been Dx with bilateral Meniere's by a local ENT in 2007, with a note of CNS issue, "investigate if warranted". I guess multiple falls requiring surgeries was not enough.

Aubagio vs. copaxone
I am looking at two drugs at the moment (
copaxone
and aubagio). Does anyone have experience or thoughts on either of these medications? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ohhhh....happy Friday!

Copaxone injection sites.
I started
Copaxone
40mg in January and for the most part am doing well with the injections. My arms, however, really don't seem to handle it as well as the other sites, my left arm in particular. I get more pain, lumps, redness, and itching there for days afterward.

Auto-injector, Copaxone, wasting a syringe
Over the past 16+ years my wife, a PWMS, has benefited from
Copaxone
. For 15 years, every day (20 ml), since early 2016, three a week (40ml). In all those years I bet I could count the number of wasted syringes on one hand but it still galls me when it occurs.

Starting Copaxone Monday. Any advice?
The Shared Solutions nurse is coming Monday to get me started on the 40 mg of
Copaxone
. I'm not at all nervous about injections, but not excited about potential side effects. I've never taken anything remotely like this. If anyone has advice, I'd love to hear it.

Happy New Year
I have been on
Copaxone
and look and feel like a human pin cushion after all these years. I have been retired for 9 years and and have limited mobility. I am new to this site and look forward to being here.
