My doctor said if I didn't have any new lesions after my mri I could stop taking the Copaxone injection and take a pill. Does anyone know what pill that would be? Want to do some research before I get it. Oh yeah and there were NO NEW LESIONS!!!! After 15 years of injections I need a break

Might need a new MS DMT

Hi all, I was diagnosed with MS in 2020, and started Ocrevus shortly after. However, after 5 successful years on the drugs (no relapses!), I was diagnosed with very early stage breast cancer. Thankfully, we caught it early and post-mastectomy, I don’t need chemo. Still, my MS neurologist is strongl...

Hi, I got diagnosed in January and started on medication after a very long wait about a month ago, unfortunately I had a very severe reaction to copaxone....I need to start another treatment however it's limited what I can take due to the fact me and my partner are trying for another baby just wondering what anyone else is or has taken whilst trying to conceive? My ms nurse keeps trying to push the infusion but due to the severe reaction I had after only 4 jabs I don't fancy 6 months worth at a time going into my body. Thanks for reading

Hi, has anyone got experience of starting a DMD after years of finishing and essentially opting out? I've been assigned a new consultant and I'm looking into being approved for one? Has anyone been turned down? Back in the day I had Copaxone and Avonex for a few years.

Hi I have rrms but latley I seem to be having more episides than usual , I am pretty used with tingling down one leg and regular pain in my sides which I believe is somthing called the ms hug which is reall annoying, but latley I have been experiencing servere pain in my lower jaw and teeth which happen when I touch a certain part of my bottom lip, even licking my lip can set it of, a few days ago it got scary when I was unable to talk due to the pain when simply trying to speak, I am currently on copaxone, this is the first time I have spoke about my ms on a forum apart from speaking to my long suffering partner ( who has to endure my whinging ) I just would like to know if anyone else has this sort of pain and any advice on how to deal with it . Thanks David

So I was dx 2009. Copaxone nearly killed me. Tecfidera caused me severe acne. I lost the feeling from my neck down September last year and finally had an mri in April. I broke my shoulder in October (slipped on holiday in Bulgaria) had surgery there and had plates and pins , they flew me home too ...

Copaxone side effects

Morning all. I was using Copaxone for many years, but stopped around three years ago due to experiencing awful side effects. I used to inject myself in privacy when nobody was at home. One occasion I injected into my right thigh, then experienced what can only be described as a feeling that I was h...

I've been taking copaxone for 16 years has anyone else been taking it for this long. Do you still have places to shoot without bleeding or lumps. The shots are getting more painful every time and I hate having to take the injections every 48 hours
