I've been experiencing what I think is nerve pain for a week. My skin hurts all over, feels like when you have a sunburn. Barely touching my skin is painful. I'm scared. Is this a flare up?

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

Has anyone gone through the Lemtrada process? I have done it 3xs. I am sinking into another attack slowly and am feeling bee stings and shocks in my body that are leaving my muscles tight and tired! The stings are very painful and are causing problems when I’m out and about! Any suggestions other than rest to calm them down? I really don’t want yet another steroid!
