copaxone

382218 tn?1341181487 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.
1396846 tn?1332459510 s last year. I will be hearing from Shared Solutions Friday to set up an appointment to start Copaxone. I should have already started it but somehow his office messed up the paper work. Needless to say he was very upset to hear that I hadn't started it yet. He was all over the desk people for not sending in the paperwork. He appologized whole heartedly to me and said that I will hear from Shared Solutions by Friday or Monday at the latest.
1337734 tn?1336234591 I was on Copaxone for 4 years and it was not effective . During that time I had many major flare ups and suffered per permanent mobility damage. 2 years ago I switched to Gilenya plus a steroid infusion routine and I have been doing great! No flare ups at all. I have felt well the entire time I was on Gilenya. Unfortunately my latest blood test just came back. The results showed my liver enzymes rose off the charts. My neuro had me stop talking the Gilenya immediately.
1755625 tn?1421447637 Ive decided to go with Copaxone, after much hard deliberation and waiting on the result of a chest X-ray and anti dsDNA results . They were normal so I guess that ruled out sarcoidosis and lupus? Idk I was debating between Copaxone and Avonex. I had pros an cons for both but I decided I would save the interferon treatments for if my MS got worst. Not sure if that's logical but oh well. The flu like side effects and the IM injection was what made me decide against Avonex.
420827 tn?1203354546 I was diagnosed with MS about 5 years ago and have been on copaxone for almost all that time. Could the Copaxone be causing my platelets to drop? I went off the copaxone when I went into the hospital and have been off of it for almost 2 months now. How long does the copaxone stay in your system after you stop taking it? Anyone have low platelet counts?
400099 tn?1282954864 In it was my lab results that I had done a few days ago. To answer the blood glucose question in MY case and Copaxone use..... It appears that my overall AIC is lower than it has been in 15 years. I am only one/tenth of a percentage point of being away of what is considered NON-DIABETIC. My reading was 6.1 Non-Diabetic level is < 6% Goal of A.D.A. for Diabetic patient is 8% So in MY case, the Copaxone is NOT affecting my blood glucose levels. There you go.
Avatar f tn I chose to switch to Copaxone. I read the clinical study results of that and Rebif and felt the Copaxone had a slightly better success rate long term in reducing lesion development and possible disability. I will also be doing a 3-day IVSM and prednisone taper starting next Tuesday. I figured since I have no way of knowing how long I will be in this flare I should give myself a fighting chance to get through it quicker.
1710955 tn?1309446473 Hi all! Its been awhile. I hope all is well with everyone. Yesterday I started copaxone. I've had 2 injections. One each arm. Since then when I wash my hands I have this burning sensation when the water hits them. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it the copaxone or just a new symptom/flare with the ms? Thanks in advance for the comments!
1053159 tn?1255144519 And my Neuro. advise me to to begin Copaxone. I have been on Copaxone now for a year. But I have only been taking it every other day.I went on to fight inflammation in my system. Which included changing my diet. My diet consists of no meat. Also I have been eating 5 oz.'s of Salmon every day. I am now thinking maybe I should take the Copaxone everyday because my left leg still is weak and tends to not want to walk along with me, on top of the stiffness.
620048 tn?1358018235 I was just watching a video by Dr. Kantor, he Copaxone was talking about how the copaxone dosage could be minimized. Has anyone else heard this before? Below is the video... http://conferencecenter.msworld.
420827 tn?1203354546 Anyone on Copaxone? Anyone having problems with it? Blood counts up or down?
1678656 tn?1369233818 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.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone. I have had MS for 11 years, been on meds for 1.5 years which is copaxone. The reason for being untreated is the docs didn't believe that I had MS for years. Now that I have been dx. I have continued to decline while being on copaxone. My symptoms act up more frequently daily and I flare frequently. The neuro hesitates to change me from the copaxone.
Avatar f tn It was positive for MS. A week ago, when the office called me to tell me they had the results and wanted me to make an appt, I got them to tell me the results, so I already knew. Now my doctor has told me about the medication to take. He told me that this was his recommendation---In this order: 1. Rebis --(not sure of these spellings) 2. Avinex 3. Copaxone He said I could research them, talk to others and come back in a month with my decision---which everone i wanted,he would prescribe.
413836 tn?1206465112 Meantime its late friday and the weekend is rollin in so i figure i will be hearing from the copaxone company come monday . Well i didnt hear a word, so i called the copaxone Co.

Avatar n tn Copaxone is made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. For more information, visit the Copaxone website, or call Shared Solutions at 1-800-887-8100.
648910 tn?1290663083 But my question is out of the 20, 5 ppl or 25% use Copaxone. So for you guys why did you chose Copaxone. I am really interested because I am not sure how one makes a decision which med to use or to begin with ect. Does the neuro usually allow input or is a case of this is what I am prescribing. I see my neuro on 12/1 to get more results. If he should discuss DMDs (which is probably wishful thinking) I would really like to have my head on half way straight.
Avatar f tn denies any connection with Copaxone. But it is the only thing that has changed in my life - taking Copaxone injections. Has anyone heard of a link.
1936411 tn?1333831849 Hello all. I was just diagnosed with RRMS last week and my doc is recommending Copaxone. I've been trying to do my research to the best of my abilities through Google scholar and the various websites out there, but there is so much information it's a little overwhelming. I know many of you have been through this and may even have experience with Copaxone itself.
398059 tn?1447945633 Anyone here one with a diagnosis of MS and is having trouble getting disease modifying drugs, such as Copaxone or Rebif, due to lack of insurance, insurance company unwilling to pay or trouble with pharmaceutical company please tell your story as to why.
450140 tn?1317947304 Now on to being proactive with the therapy - I hope you will do well with the copaxone. The injection training should be of help to you and there are lots of people here on copaxone will to share aditional tips (including me). For now, just take some time to absorb this confirmation of what you've known for a long time.
1936411 tn?1333831849 Thank you, Guitar Grrrl. I've been avoiding the switch because Copaxone has given me good results. I'm afraid to switch, have a relapse and then feel like I asked for it because I wussed out on the shots. But I think it is almost time.
572651 tn?1530999357 Patients who were given the placebo had 3 times greater lesion development than the patients on Copaxone. They also said there were similar results in proportions of development of black holes. In the PreCISe (PREsenting with a Clinically Isolated Syndrome) study, CIS patients who were given Copaxone had their progression to a second relapse delayed on average to over a year.
