Rebif v Copaxone

Hi all, I've come for some advice. I recently had an appointment with my ms nurse to discuss treatment options. There's so much to take in. I initially went in there think I don't want any pills and not keen on self injecting. Which only left infusions. I wanted Lemtrada until she told me about the side effects and I'm not keen on having to have blood tests every month for 5 yrs. So now I'm deciding on Rebif or Copaxone. Can anyone give any info on how the treatment worked for them and their experiences. Really appreciate the advice. Dukes

I took Rebif for 5 years until I started to have skin rejection. I did feel sluggish the day after my shot but I didn't have any relapses on it. I chose the Rebif, I didn't want a daily shot like Copaxone. I have started my third year on Tecfidera, I had some stomach issues at first but got through that and haven't had any relapses. My husband and I didn't like the shots, some people don't like pills. Potter
