Copaxone

I’ve just started the 3x weekly copaxone injections Does anyone have any tips? I’m finding the initial injections to be quite painful and the hour after the area is quite sore it limits my movement.

CIS patients, anybody is on Copaxone?

Hi there I just recently had an episode of optical neuritis. These conditions are considered to be a first sigh of MS. My doctor recommends Copaxone injections for 5 years. I am thinking. Is anybody there in the same situation or had similar issues?

Copaxone

Hi, anyone else on Copaxone? How are you finding it? It's been a month for me, 3x a week and I've noticed I get the painful red lump when I inject. I read that it is a common side effect. Also I get dizzy, tight chest and quickening heart rate which I also read can be normal. Anyone else?
