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

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.

Copaxone

Just spoke to my nurse about my twitching nose. She's booking me for an MRI. On another note!. she was telling me about cases of people taking Copaxone having anaphylactic shocks, even when they've been taking it for a while. Your thoughts.....
