Copaxone is new to me
- I started on October 22, 2010

Allergy shots are not!
- Therapy plan = weekly for six months + monthly for 30 months
- I have 10 months left

My last allergy shots, before Copaxone, had injection site reactions about 1" in diameter. On day 25 of my copaxone therapy I had my monthly allergy shots. One arm had a site reaction of ~3"x6", the other ~6"x10"!

Does anyone ...

I have only recently been diagnosed with probable MS, and I am trying to select which med to take (neuro is letting me decide). I was thinking that Copaxone was the way to go, until I started reading about all the lipoatrophy. Is there any way to minimize it? I know it is totally vain, and retaining the use of my limbs is more important than how I look, but I am young, and I ...

Hello all,

This is more a question to the women of the group... so I appologize to the men.

I have been diagnosed and on Copaxone for 6 months now. I am still getting use to a lot of the changes my body is going through and learning about MS.

What I am curious about, is if any of the woman have noticed changes in the length, durration and flow durring their cycle? Mine are ...

After 6 yrs on Avonex I stopped because I didn't think is was doing anything anymore...my old neuro agreed...without any MRIs other than the initial one. My new neuro is suggesting after reviewing MRIs of the spine which has atrophied but has increased multiple foci but do not demonstrate contrast enhancement-there is no formal stenosis- to do monthly IV steroid and go on Copaxone.
I was thinking to try LDN but not sure it would ...

I was diagnosed as having RRMS two years ago, and have been on Copaxone for a year. I'm doing great, with no symptoms other than waxing and waning in the strength of my voice.

I applied for a government job about six months ago, and have passed through all the various levels of the application process -- EXCEPT for the last step, which was the medical examination. It included a full medical history, which asked ...

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. announced new data from the five-year extension of the PreCISe study demonstrating that earlier initiation of treatment with Copaxone(R) (glatiramer acetate injection) in patients presenting with first signs of multiple sclerosis (MS), provided greater effects in delaying conversion to clinically definite MS (CDMS) compared to later treatment initiation after diagnosis of CDMS or after three years on the study.

Early treatment with Copaxone(R) reduced the risk of progression to CDMS ...

I'm stuck! I can't decide whether to fill my prescription for Copaxone or not. Any insight would be appreciated, but first, a little background...

I am 35 years old, I was diagnosed in August 2010. I had an MRI in March following a migraine, subsequently I had a follow up MRI in three months with a lumbar puncture following that. So, my MS diagnosis came from having a migraine, not from having MS symptoms. No ...

Hi all, I am so stressed out! I just started my copaxone yesterday and was then told my coverage was cancelled and therefore I will have to wait 3 months before I can have it reinstated! I don't want to go off my drugs after just starting and cannot get them until February now! Does anyone have any extra in the Calgary AB area that will last me until then??? I don't work and cannot ...
