Just Started Copaxone - When Will The Stinging End?

I had my first injection of Copaxone on Friday morning and I was unprepared for the stinging that followed which lasted over an hour. I had my second one today and again the stinging was unbearable. Has anyone been on Copaxone injections? Did you have this experience? If so, how did you combat it?...

Has anyone had similar symptoms to MS but ended up being diagnosed with something else? If so what were you diagnosed with?

I recently had 4 MRIs due to being under suspicion of having MS but they all came clean. I'm glad it's not MS but I'm frustrated because it means I'm at square one again. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hey everyone, so I was diagnosed 3 months ago. Saw my neurologist one month ago and they couldn't really tell me which type of MS I have, since the symptoms come and go they said remitting. So I was scheduled for my first infusion today but I didn't go. The last time I let them give me meds I ended up having Stephen Johnson syndrome

I know that MS is different for each indhividual but just want those just diagnosed to know I went almost 25 years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Don’t go off the deep end worrying about what if? Work with your Doctor to find a treatment that is best for YOU. Remember you are your own best advocate! Im 68 now and still fight it every day

How all y’all peep’s living we all living the dream right one day will wake up yea this ms shit is for the birds changed my whole life I used to be a go getter some days I don’t even wanna move was diagnosed back in 2017 they also said I’ve had it for a few years prior Eason three different meds yeah just sucks anymore man my life is just totally ruined not really ruined but you guys know it’s just a lot of things that we can’t do that. We wanna do. I got a three year-old kid little boy two daughters. I don’t see them. Their mother left me. I was in a freak accident. I got an involuntary manslaughter charge. I worked at a metal shop in. King of Prussia Pennsylvania called Zico and we are playing on the job and the guy got hit him a piece of metal and went right through his head and he died two days later man I kinda messed me up to. I got locked up and I was married. She left me because of the incident she didn’t want me jeopardizing her career so she ended it when I was in jail for the incident. I’ve been in quite a few accidents drinking a drive and you know I mean, I got a metal plate in my face. I got tore my ACLMCL never been sick that day in my life before man it’s crazy now all of a sudden I was in rehab. I stopped doing cocaine back in 2017 when I got diagnosed and one day I went to group and they said I didn’t look right so I had to go get checked out I went and got checked out and they told me it was Lyme disease at first and then they sent me to Christiana Delaware and that’s when I was in there for about three weeks. They finally figured out it was MS they said I’ve had a couple years prior to make diagnosed. It changed my whole life man I don’t even wanna do anything and get up. Just sit here in my ass. It’s wild something like that can change you but the key is just gotta keep fighting man keep pushing it just don’t kill yourself in the process. Can’t wait to talk to you guys. Hope everybody has a good night.

Hi, my name is Grace I am 19yrs old, Born and Raised in Philly. I never really knew much about MS though I do have 2 family members who have it. I have been experiencing numbness, tingling, sciatica, fatigue, double vision, itching and tingling sensation in my skin, tremors, weakness in my arms and legs, balance issues, etc… I went to see my Primary and she said it could be MS, though I do have some other things going on. She ordered a MRI for me but they didn’t really find anything. I went to see a Neurologist and he looked over my scans and suggested I get a another MRI just to be sure and this time lthey are looking at the whole spine. I sometimes I feel like I may not be taken seriously because of my age. But hopefully I can figure out what’s going on with me because this whole process has been tiring and frustrating. But the MRI is at the end of the month so I guess we’ll see.

How do you get your partner to understand fatigue and have sympathy when you are totally wiped out and can’t do everything like you used to . I’m at the end of my tether
