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

So I was on Copaxone for like 3 years it was working great. Then all of a sudden my relapses were happening more often. Just moved to Chicago 7 months ago and have now established care here. My Neurologist is wanting to start me on Kesimpta. Has anyone ever been on it? If so what were some side affects? Also side note I don't have a Pancreas so I am extremely nervous about trying new medications.

Diagnosed with MS for 5 years and I’ve been using Copaxone Shots the entire time. I find them easy and very manageable. My NEUROLOGIST after my last MRI would like me to stop shots and change to 4 pills every day. Not excited about this. Anyone else swallowing the 4 pills a day for MS? Side effect...
