Copaxone side effect or not?
So I had a second relapse this year, this year has been far too much D: so I started my treatment on the 17th August, which is grand, but I have been extremely tired, to the point where I cannot function at all. I have recently finished folic acid, which I was talking for two months, but then started this DMT and I'm exhausted. I can't get up when I want to, I'm sat there yawning thoughtout the day and my eyes are heavy with this dull headache that just won't shift.
Anyone on copaxone or know of it, can you tell me if this is normal? - because I really feel grim.
On the plus side, I have confidence with my infections now, as before I was very uneasy and panicky.
Thanks in advance.
@ettelrahs ... Hi hope you are ok.... I started on the same medication in Jan of this year... I havnt suffered headaches like you describe but I do frequently suffer bouts of extreme tirdness! I have always put that down to a symptom of MS rather than a side effect of the drugs. I inject every day and dont seem to have had any side effects except on two occasions when straight after injecting i had severe shortness of breath and went as red as a cherry! A bit scary but was told this could happen from time to time. Not sure if my ramblings help!
@desn - they're most definitely not ramblings at all, you're educating a newbie like me and i thamk you for it. I did speak to my copaxone nurse and he said its not that common and if i were to feel it getting worse then to contact my ms nurse. Its honestly unbearable atm, plans are out the window because I cant function for longer than half an hour D: hoping whatever it is, that it subsides soon (fingers crossed!)
