Newly diagnosed
Hi all, I'm newly diagnosed and have been offered capoxone and a type of Beta Interferon, I think plegridy, both injections? Anyone experienced these and have any positives / negatives to help me decide?

Hello I was on Copaxone for just over 12 months, injected three times a week after the first few you get used to it quickly and becomes part of life (unfortunately) No real side effects apart from injection site redness which usually only lasted 24hrs.
Been on plegridy for 2 years. Like it. Side effects last for 24-48 hours after shot but manageable. Sometimes tough giving self a shot.
