Copaxone..perils of.

Hello all. I'm thinking this copaxone could be causing more problems than the condition. Would be great to hear others thoughts and comparisons. I'm still fortunately quite mobile, but feel changes happening so not sure what could be a relapse or what could be the medication or Indeed just me overdoing the exercise.. it's a minefield.. Would love to connect with like minded. Peace, Andrew.

Hi Drew3, copaxone indeed caused more discomfort than it was worth. The time it took; no showering, eating right before or after. But dont know if that still complies. The lipo-atrofy, red- faced for hours after injection. Woozy right after injecting. And ofcourse, the big one, the IPIR. And like you, walking/balance kept getting worse. After a year i gave up. Or better, wouldn't agree anymore with the side-effects, but no improvement. Talking it over with neuro would be my advice. Good luck with that.

Hi Juliapinkie. Thank you for your message and sorry for my tardy reply, I'm not so good with this technology bit. I think they must have changed the make up of copaxone as it wouldn't appear quite as bad for me as it was for you. I'm looking at lots of things, as we suspect a relapse so am now on short course of steroids. May I ask what IPIR is please?.
