Ozark, I'm sorry I missed your party - too many things going on! Hope you guys were able to raise some $. It was a yucky weekend! I see Dr. Becky Parks at Wash U, who is part of the MS Research team at Wash U. I have an appointment in May with her (just my 6 monther...) and I hope to bring up "...

No weight gain here from Copax. And didn't have any weight gain when I was on Beta either.

burntsienna you can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just think of happy thoughts while you're shooting....

My motivation comes up not wanting to get worse, and just telling myself I have to do it. It's part of my bed routine.

It also helps that I'm ok with needles. Needles are my friends

hey jeaneoc!!!! I had the EXACT same reaction!! Been on Copax a little over two years. The lumps in my groins showed up about 6 months after first taking it. I called Shared Solutions and they put me on hold while they checked with they're "research scientist" to get the data - if this ind...

Nacho, your post made me LOL!!!!

Tell it how it is, bro!!!

I've only had that reaction once, my body tolerates Copax well - I'm lucky!!

My dr. office wouldn't take it back from me - the pharmacy wouldn't take it back, these were unopened. My doctor even told me to call the MS society to see if they'd "...

I agree it needs fixin, but I don't want to be more "broken" until after all the kinks are worked out with CCSVI. I don't want to fix my veins only to have them collapse again... So until there's more of a gurantee that you don't have to keep having them 'fixed' I'll stay on the sidelines....

I can relate. I've been on Copax two years and this happened once to me. Definitley reaction to the Copax. At least you waited it out. I called 911 and told them I thought I was dieing. Paramedics showed up, told me it was a reaction, I refused to go the hospital and they left. You had it much worse...
