Copaxone and Allergy shots ... anyone have an experience?
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 6:10 pm
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 know how this could be Copaxone related? I have had 90 previous allergy shots and none have reacted like this. Anyone else doing allergy shots and Copaxone? I only have 10 months of allergy shots left, I don't want to abandon now!
For the last two Copaxone injections in my arms I was careful to avoid the area where my allergy shots are done.
Thanks for any opinions!
