copaxone

2063887 tn?1337829746 I finally figured out that the Copaxone was causing me to have severe migraines so we had to change our plan of action. They wanted me to decide which way to go, but sort of led the discussion towards Tysabri. My original neurologist wanted to start with that as well, but after appealing to the insurance several times they wouldn't approve it. This doctor actually took the time to talk and write down facts about my situation to back up the need.
Avatar f tn I think the best course of action is probably to have a think about what will work best with your lifestyle and personal preferences and then discuss it with your neurologist in terms of what will be most likely to succeed where Copaxone did not. Also, remember that ALL disease-modifying drugs play the long game. They do not treat symptoms. They do not fix old damage. Their goal is to reduce the number of relapses and hopefully slow down disease progression over time. Hope this is helpful!
Avatar n tn C-Spine MRI, brain MRI, LP? If you have evidence of demyelination what has lead to 7 years of ambiguity?
Avatar n tn These amino acids are normally found in the human body. To the best of my knowledge, there is no causal link to Copaxone causing cancer. There are a certain number of patients that develop cancer and report it while taking Copaxone, but I believe that is statistically equivalent to the incidence of cancer in the general population. Because it was reported, it will be listed in the prescribing information, but that does not mean that Copaxone causes cancer.
382218 tn?1341181487 I sought your advice on Novantrone, as my neuro had stated that this would be the next course of action, if Rebif is unsuccessful for me after a further period of labs and re-introduction to the med. I had asked him if I could try Copaxone after Rebif, and he was very specific about expressing concern about my active MS course and not wanting to take more time to wait and see if Copaxone would work for me, meanwhile more neurological damage may be occuring.
Avatar f tn Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma. However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
1373769 tn?1278603610 Also I forgot to ask my neuro which type of MS I have - would you assume it is RRMS since she is putting me on copaxone? I remember her saying this med would be good because of the number of lesions I currently have and because there are fewer side effects than others. I was in such a daze during that dx appointment I didn't think to ask. thanks so much!
Avatar m tn Also its possible for a topical fungal infection caused by a change in the skins pH but in the world of oral sex, none of these happen often compared to the number of oral sex that takes place in the course of a day in the world.
5640933 tn?1374342164 Ok I had a letter when I found out I was pregnant midwife booked a appointment with some person and I had to have a scan and then followed by consultation then i rang the hospital which they then said its about the mode of delivery, this is obv about having a c section as I have problems with my hips but has anyone else had this and what happens at these apps??
Avatar m tn - Hiv if have to transmit in sexuall routine would transmit through penis of male and vagina of women only inside the body during unprotected intercourse. It cannot transmit through any other body part(in sexual routine) including mouth. As I have read that even oral sex don't possess risk.
Avatar f tn I stopped taking Copaxone not because of the IPIR, but because of the allergic reactions that seemed to accompany it. My skin started itching severely, and I had some swelling in my face. So I switched to Betaseron. Fortunately I don't get the flu-like reaction, or at least not as bad as some people.
Avatar m tn Our data highlight the potential of direct innate immunity activation in hepatocytes in the control of HBV replication, and support the recent interest in the development of PRR-based antiviral strategies against HBV. In addition, our data suggest that elucidation of the mode of antiviral action of imiquimod may lead to the identification of a novel target for the treatment of CHB. Disclosure of Interest: J.

Avatar m tn I will be switching to Medicare when I run out of COBRA on my disability. I didn't know that about the price of Copaxone on Medicare. And it sounds like Teva/Shared Solutions doesn't work with them on it for the cost?
Avatar m tn I have never heard of MOM being used in this way, nor that it has any anti-infective action. And certainly I have never heard of herpes or any other STD being transmitted by contaminated MOM. I see no reason for any concern about it.
711902 tn?1229431139 You may also be able to switch to a histamine blocker which has a different mode of action. Some people find the H2 blockers effective.
335728 tn?1331414412 s on people in the past but I started going through the member list today (boring Saturday) and WOW...are we ever missing some people! I have compiled a list of a some that I recall although I am sure that I have missed more than a few being that I have not much of a memory. The following are MIA and if they could kindly pop in and give us a general update on how they are doing, what they are doing, are they still in limboland or if they are diagnosed are they being treated with DMD's?
195469 tn?1388322888 Hi! As you know I have only recently started on Copaxone, so I'm one of the ones who cannot say with any degree of accuracy how I'm doing. The problem with DMDs is that it's impossible to tell how much worse we might have been without them. Statistically they do work and that's been demonstrated, but for any individual, who knows? Still, hearing what others here perceive should be interesting so I'm glad you have asked.
Avatar f tn t stop the copaxone will the numbness eventually go away. I have not had any spasms of my tongue, just the numbness and loss of taste on half of my mouth.
