I have a question for anyone that would like to respond. I have had MS for the past 5 years 3 of which I have been taking Copaxone.

This reaction has happened to me at least once every 2-3 months while I have been on this drug. Now my chest aches on ...

hello everybody,

I'm taking Cop since April last year, and here in Germany, it is still to be mixed by the user. Only now they start to give us the premixed Cop.
