Extreme shivering/chills with Brabio

Hi, It’s currently just gone 1am here in the UK after the hottest day this year and I am wrapped up in my duvet and I cannot stop shivering. I’m aware this is a common side effect when using Brabio/Copaxone but was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar and how long does it generally last for them? I didn’t expect it to be this bad, how naive I was!

@tiffscriv - funnily enough I posted about this a couple of weeks ago. Having injected fine for several months (also on Brabio) with no real side effects, one night I got the worst bought of shivering. My husband literally had to hold me still it was so violent and then my back locked up! I've had it again a couple of times since and what I can narrow it down to is when I inject in my left side, especially my thigh. Usually it lasts about 40mins - 1hr and then subsides. I just wrap up warm in advance and lie on the sofa till it passes!

@tiffscriv

@lilypalzooa Yes! Mine also lasted around that length of time too! I got really dizzy and nauseous, it’s majorly put me off as I’d had no real issues other than site injection reactions which I can deal with easy enough. Although it did scare me a little last night!
