Plegridy and knee pain?!?

Hi, I’ve just started Plegridy (began in January and built up to full dose now) and I’ve noticed injection site reactions which is annoying but I was expecting.

Plegridy allergic reaction

I had a pretty nasty allergic reaction on my skin from around the injection site and spread around my body every time I took my plegridy. Anyone else experienced this? Similar to hives and itchy. If you did what alternative meds are you on?

Plegridy

I was diagnosed with MS last September. I put my extremely high blood pressure down to a flu jab and COVID jab but it was neither. I had a bad relapse in May 2021 with dizziness, sickness, facial numbness and nearly fell over in Reception at work. My question is that I don’t see many people menti...
