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?

Has anyone else had problems with their digestive systems? It's a more recent thing for me.

Extremely p...

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

One of my coworkers texted to check up on me and I told her I'm ok, she said "just making sure it's not a bad flare up" which I know she meant well by. My response was no, just regular sick with a fever. I haven't started a...
