Now What?
I think I will speak to my neurologist about moving to something else, but none really have the few side effects that
Copaxone
does for me. Has your neurologist allowed/encouraged a switch based mainly on being weary of the needles and lipoatrophy?

Holiday Greetings and Blessings to All!
Friday's are "injection day" for
Copaxone
and Melatonin tabs aren't working; my Neuro prescribed Zolpidem PRN (as yes they help tremendously) even though I don't want to rely on them. I mailed off my Christmas gifts to my three grandchildren in Delaware; I miss them so much!

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.

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?

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.
