copaxone kit

We were traveling this weekend and before we got to our final destination, we stopped at my cousin's house for a pool party. I left everything in the car except for our swimming stuff. Unfortunately, I didn't even think that my Copaxone kit was in my suitcase. I had five syringes in there, and it was hot, hot, hot this weekend. Do you think that I should just throw these syringes away? I can't believe I could be so stupid! Thanks!

30 pm. so im thinking ok cool maybe the copaxone co did their fax thing and i can get a copy of the doc report which i signed a release form for at my last appt.(that never got sent to me)and get started on my injections soon. so i get there at 12;30 and secretay IS NOT THERE, but other receptionst(for the other doc on other side of office is there and gives me the kit. I get home and its the usual info. so now im sitting here with my copaxone in fridge and a welcome kit.

Thank you for your good wishes, Pablo! I'm wishing you best of luck with you Copaxone start as well- and there's the autoinjector as well which you get with the Copaxone starter kit.

When I 1st received my meds I received a small kit. With this kit came a small container for sharps for travelling, alcohol, etc. and a mini ice pack that slips in a little slot. It's all contained and perfect for travel. Like mentioned above you can call your filling pharmacy or call the shared solutions or ms lifelines (forgetting which DMD you are on) and ask them for a travel kit. Heck, I'll call mine for another if you can't get your hands on one and ship it to you!

On Dec. 20th My doctor and I decided to start Copaxone. How long does it take for it to come in the mail, or does the nurse bring it when she comes to teach me the first time? It seems like its been too long, maybe it's cause of the holidays or maybe I'm just being impatient? Someone I know just started an injection to increase bone density and it only took 3 days to get their medicine. Is this because the doctors office is with Shared solutions or my insurance?

I use the autoject for my Copaxone. Thursday when I did the shot on my thigh, when I removed the needle it was not centered in the autoject. It was leaning a bit. I also had the skin reaction in a bigger area, instead of the 1/2 dollar sized round welt I was getting, it was a bigger oval shaped one. I assumed it was a one-time thing. Yesterday I did the shot in my love-handle area, which is the area that has the least skin reaction so far (thighs have the most).

could help with a disability claim. I have a betaseron kit and a rebif kit, which I was urged to research. I'll follow up in December, at which time we will discuss my options. He highly recommends that I begin treatment and explained that today's treatment will be my hope ten years from now. Opinions, experiences, advice, wisdom . . . all coveted. Please share.

I just started the paperwork to get going on Copaxone. What I've read in this forum has helped me decide, but of course I also studied the kit, watched the movie, talked to people, and googled... I can feel more symptoms now than when I was diagnosed on MOnday - that scares me and I am anxious to get going with the copaxone. Wish me luck!

So I thought I would post somthing for others for a change since Im always asking so many questions lol, I have the copaxone in the fridg and awaiting the welcome kit and nurse for first injection sometime this week wish me luck, I hope it help!!!

t go away after being off the Copaxone we decided the two were unrelated and I started taking Copaxone again, last night was my first injection after the break. My question is - last night I woke up feeling like I had the flu, I was sweating, ached all over and had a massive headache. I know these are side effects of the interferons but has anyone had this while on Copaxone? I had no reaction like this the first few weeks I took Copaxone.

//www.ehealthme.com/ds/copaxone/hallucinations,+mixed "On Aug, 31, 2013: 9,277 people reported to have side effects when taking Copaxone. Among them, 5 people (0.05%) have Hallucinations, Mixed." the most recent was one person in 2011. It would be difficult to prove hallucinations were a side effect of copaxone, based on those very small numbers. There are no withdrawal symptoms from going off copaxopne.

I'm on copaxone as well but Shared Solutions hasn't sent any ice packs to me - but there was an ice/heat pack in the "Welcome" kit the nurse brought to me.. The ziploc baggie thing is really flexible and wraps around all my body parts .

because this study, like many others, was supported by the drug co. that developed, produces, markets and distributes Copaxone. So I guess we take the info with a grain of salt, and hope that the study was designed appropriately and objectively, and that results are reported accurately and ethically. If so, and the encouraging results are repeated in future studies, then it really would be great news for Copaxone users.

I have never heard of this side effect from copaxone and not sure how it could effect your cycle. Anyway, I had a hysterectomy way back when so I couldn't have this symptom regardless. Sorry.

Did they tell you that you had optic neuritis? That was my first flair as far as we know. I've had it 3 or 4 times. I don't remember. I went on prednisone a few times and it worked every times. Lately, for the past few months off and on, I've been having jumpy vision. It gives me pretty bad migraines. I get migraines very easily so I'm on daily meds for that as well. It seems to work well but it doesn't stop the things that trigger my migraines.

Hello, I am sorry that I am saying this, I was pre-diagnosed with ms that was recently confirmed not ms. I am sorry that I had the news that most of you reading this will not hear. However I had accepted the diagnosis and was prepared,to move forward with my newly found life. And as a result almost a year of injection copaxone treatment ms that I don't know what to do with. I hate to throw it away but am not sure if I have another choice. Does anyone know of any other options?

Started my Copaxone on May 24 and it was fine and had no pain to speak of injecting.

Hi Ali. I can tell you my experience with Copaxone. I was just diagnosed in Dec of 07. I haven't been on any other MS med. I was put on Copaxone. In those 3 months I struggled with depression, sleeplessness, gained 10 lbs and had terrible dark circles under my eyes. It completely changed my personality. I took myself off it and finally after 2 weeks am starting to feel like myself again and have dropped the weight and the circles under my eyes are gone.

Copaxone is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. For more information, visit the Copaxone website, or call Shared Solutions at 1-800-887-8100.

But, I have just recently wondered about a question about weight gain. I am paranoid about gaining weight, and for some reason have not really thought about this issue when discussing the DMD's. I was actually relieved that someone finally is doing something about my situation. Anyways, what my question is ...... Has anyone experienced weigh gain, and if so, how much is expected?
