Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:42 pm Post subject: Copaxone and Tremors
I was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis instead of the correct diagnosis of brainstem stroke. I had been on Copaxone for the four years of my misdiagnosis. About the fifth week of taking Copaxone, I developed a almost constant head tremor. (Dystonic No-No) It appeared as if I was shivering or repetitively shaking my head no very quickly. My quack neuro said that it was a symptom of my MS. I tried a variety of meds and used Botox injections in my neck every 4 months with some improvement.
I have been off Copaxone for 8 weeks now and my head tremor is GONE. I mean not even. I am amazed. It has been so embarrassing and fatiguing these past four years. I also now have a regular menstrual period which I didn't for the years I was medicated.
Does anyone have any information about Copaxone and Tremors. I see from the pharmacy website, that tremor is a rare side effect. But a severe disabling tremor??? Please respond if you have any information on possible harm done taking copaxone when a person does not have MS.
