I have been taking the injection GLATIRAMER ACETATE since July I have not had any side effects besides the lumps and itching. Yesterday I did my injection and I got flushed, dizzy, back pain that it was hard to breathe, got nauseous and threw up. Followed by a headache and fatigue. I probably slept the whole day. I called the advocate people to report it, they said it sounds like I had a bad side effects even though I haven't for the past 4-1/2 months. I called my neurologist and they told me that I probably hit a vein ( injection in my side stomach area) the doctor said that it wasn't a side effect. I find this hard to believe. I told her that I don't want to do the injections anymore. I really don't want any medication for this newly diagnosed MS. I will be 60 in January and recently diagnosed in June. I never had any severe issues besides that my optic nerve became inflamed. I have been told I probably had MS for years and just have been missed diagnosed all these years. I have vertigo, fatigue, back pain, numbness. Has anyone else have a reaction to the GLATIRAMER ACETATE? If so what other options were you given?
