About to start Copaxone!
Hi guys! Not been on for a few weeks been a mad couple of weeks. I’m due to start my first treatment of Copaxone in a few weeks. It has been delayed to my body having a bad reaction to the carbamazepine I had been prescribed for my lhermittes. Full body rash, really bad fever, temperature and vomiting for 6 days straight. Over the worst now but my bloods are all abnormal including my liver enzymes. So hopefully after my re test on the 9th my bloods will be back to normal for me to be able to start the Copaxone. Anxiety is kicking in due to having to inject myself 3 Times a week. Can anyone offer any advice to this? Does it hurt? I’m not looking forward to side effects and praying I’m not affected as much as some users are. What are everyone’s experiences with the side effects of Copaxone?
Thank you x
I was on it for about 3 years my biggest side effect was headaches so i was living on painkillers but everyone is different. Best of luck 👍
Sorry to hear of your horrible side effects from the drug you’ve been taking for L’Hermittes - sounds awful. I was on Copaxone for six years in the UK and US and a good thing was you didn’t have to have blood tests for liver function etc. what really helps you is to inject using the autoject pen -try not to worry too much; once you’ve done one injection it won’t feel so overwhelming I’m sure. You just have to keep an eye on the injection sites. Good luck with it all. Loo-K
