Copaxone uk

So I had my consultation today and I'm starting Copaxone and I'm waiting for the Copaxone nurse to call to arrange a visit to go over injections etc. The ONE question i forgot to ask is how long it usually takes for them to get in touch. They've booked me in to the ms nurse clinic for 3 months to see how I'm getting on so I'm assuming I'll be done by the , but any ideas?

Well done! Isn't the Copaxone nurse the MS nurse? I'd call them if they don't call you within a week. It takes a while before they sort out the prescription - took a couple of months in my case. Then you'll need to see the nurse again to show you how to inject.

Thank you! No, apparently there's a nurse from the drug company called karaoke (or that's what it sounded like) who'll call me to arrange a home visit, show me how to inject and all about the drug, but he's separate to the ms nurse, I think his visit is a one off thing then I go through the ms nurses for everything after. I guess it eases their workload?
