Hi, I´m new here and have a question for you guys. I take Copaxone for 2 years and since then the winter seasons are dificult to pass on ok, because I feel a lot of cold that makes me walk slowly and slowly everyday (towards my couch!)... and when the warmer days are back, everything gets back to normal. And before Copaxone and the diagnosis of a demyelinating disease, all I had was blurred vision, ...

Don't you just love these head to head battles. Might it have something to do with Tysabri coming back onto the market? The CRABs on average reduce relapses by 30%. It's amazing how these other trials can show such dramatic improvements in efficacy. I've got to the stage where I don't believe a word of this sort of research

Post subject: Copaxone Site Pain Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 1:26 pm |

My wife has recently begun Copaxone. I am her caregiver, and give the injections. She is rebelling at receiving these, because of the bee-sting pain she feels afterwards. The RN who coached me recommended heat before and cold after. I have been told that my atitude is gentle, but am at my wit's end. Any comments are welcome...
