Copaxone

Has anyone come off cop axone?? I am on it three years and still having problems with injection sites>
@Stumbler

Injection site problems are a good reason to have your treatment reviewed. There are oral DMDs available now, which may be more suitable. Have a word with your MS Nurse/Neuro.

Hi @mrsmagoo. I was on copaxone initially and got quite bad lipoatrophy on my legs so they switched me to avonex so that I didn't run out of sites. I also used to get huge itchy red reactions like bee stings which eased over time but never really went away. I tried different combinations of cold and hot packs, antihistimines and aloe gels and nothing really helped, my body just really didn't like the drug! (no relapses though so some of it was obviously getting to the right place!) Definitely mention it to your nurse or neuro if you're concerned, as Stumbler says there are more and more options available these days. Good luck! jane xx
