I just found this on another website: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/applications/discussion/view.rm?post_id=792380&id=14320 Don't panic!!!!! I have just had swine flu and am on Copaxone and had just finished a course of IV steroids so I was put on tamiflu immediately. Truly, it is no worse than an...

Hi Guys, I'm back again with another question: What are the recommendations for taking TamiFlu (Swine Flu meds) whilst on Copaxone. My wife has been poorly with a temp for the best part of last week, and started to vomit yesterday. I called our GP who advised us NOT to come to the Surgery but to pho...

< shortened url > Researcher's labour of love leads to MS breakthrough New way of thinking about debilitating disease has yielded stunning new treatments – but MS societies urge sufferers to be cautious before experimenting From Saturday's Globe and Mail Published on Friday, Nov. 20, 2009 9:07PM EST...

Giving birth seems to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS), Belgian and Dutch researchers say. The researchers tracked 330 women with MS for 18 years and found that among those who had children, severe disability took longer to develop. Writing in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery an...

Hi guys, This a follow on from another one of the topics in this forum, however I feel it is an important subject to touch on, as me and my wife are newlyweds with aspirations to bring up children in the future. We need to know how Copaxone affects the body or baby. The question was posed to MS nurs...

my wife gets those small lums under the skin a few days after injection... are they related to needle depth?

Hi Guys Im back from my trip abroad and my wife took the plunge and decided to use the Auto-Injector while I was away! She was very very brave and now self injects. I got the feeling she felt fully indepedant again and this showed me a boost in her self confidence, Her MS is no longer a disability f...

Hi guys, thanks for the fantastic responses. It seems as if we shouldn’t attempt to even miss a day, and it's fast becoming clear that I will have to arrange something if I cannot do the injections. WonderfulWorld: She doesn't do them because she's too scared. She closes her eyes and looks away even...

Thanks for the advice RuSmolikova. Does anyone else have any feedback on this ? I have arranged the nurse to come out on a few of the days and inject her, but the nurse said that she cannot do it for the whole week. These MS nurses are actually beginning to sound a lot like sales men to me. Once the...

Another thing... Why dont Copaxone make the Auto-Injector as good the Beta-Interferon one???!!!

The difference is massive.

Hi Guys, Just updating everyone. The Copaxone is going quite well. We did ask the nurse about the alcohol wipes but we were told there was no significant scientific evidence to prove that it helps the injection in anyway, but we can use one pre-injection if we wish???! Small lumps are appearing unde...

HI Guys, WOW thanks for all the advice! Firstly, our MS nurse did not actually show us that we had to use an alcohol wipe on the injection site, so we go straight for the kill. But thinking about it now, it should be sterile, I will query this with the Nurse on her next visit. LoveActually: Please d...
