Lhermitte's...does it mean progression?

I was diagnosed in October after having several sensory issues (numbness, tingling in my left hand and arm), severe MS hug, and severe burning (like the worst sunburn ever) on my right leg. Those symptoms have pretty much resolved, but for the past w...

Re: Horrible pain as soon as medication started going in

Hey, I'm new to Copaxone (and new to MS, for that matter) and have been on Copaxone about as long as you. I find that my stomach hurts the worst at the time of injection. I get horrible shooting pains after the injection. I've never pulled it back out, though. Did it burn your skin when it squirted ...
