any one else lost their appetite since on copaxone?

i have been on it since jan or feb, and have lost 25lbs or so.......

I wish I've only had topical skin issues, some minor bruising and itchiness

No. Are you sure it is the Copaxone? Are you taking Vitamin D, it can cause appetite loss, especially at a significant dosage.

i am not taking any vitamins, and now it is 35 lbs.....
i have talked to my support nurse, and seh said to see my fam doc, as it is recorded that some have had decrease of appt, but not to the extreme i have.
so she said it is possibly overactive thyroid...... so my doc is on vaca for three weeks, so i will call her when she returns the 26th

I've lost about 8kg since beginning copaxone - january 2010. I have a suppressed appetite too it seems, but the high vit D someone mentioned might contribute as i am on the high end of the scale. Normal is 60-160 and i am 155 units/ml
