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.

If you go to the shared solutions website, then go to live events, you can see listings in your area. I get invitations mailed to me. I think it is because I take Copaxone.

How has perimenopause affected others with the screwed up hormones, MS and the emotions. The weaker my legs become the more emotional I become. I have been on Copaxone for a month, I never used any thing before but alternative methods. I thought I was blessed not being so affected by MS, or so I thought, Looking for support and backup on this situation.

I'm fairly new to Copaxone, and I have not been having any issues other then the typical reactions right when I take the shot. I take it about 1 hour before bedtime. Then I get up about 4:30 the next morning for work and eat breakfast. About an hour or so after I eat I feel really lightheaded and woozy, almost like my blood sugar or pressure is messed up, but it doesn't make much sense if had just eaten an hour before.

What side effects did you get? I started Copaxone last year but had to stop after less than a week because I couldn't sleep or eat, had night sweats & palpitations and was really jittery. The neuro says it might be 'second time lucky' so I'm trying again! They've offered me diazapam to counteract the jitters but I'm not keen. Well, one relapse every 36 months instead of every 12 is very good!

Even on copaxone you will still have relapses Just not as often. If. This is not working for you then other drugs are an option. I am sitting in the infusion center as I type is having just completed my first round of tysabri. the coax one was no longer agreeing with my body. I chose to go very aggressive with tx to see if this will work. The plus was I am jc virus negative and virtually no pml risk involved. Sorry for the typos. This iPad keyboard is a pain to type on.

I have had some injection site lumps come up using the auto-injector, so I went back to self injecting my Copaxone, which now only results in a slight rising of the skin. Seems to work for me. Hope the auto-injector is working for you. Did they suggest you put it on number "6" depth level? That seems to work better. But if you are real thin where you are injecting number 4 works just as well.

Relapses are not always clear events, and sometimes the terminology and distinctions used in discussing MS can be confusing and a little arbitrary .If you are having symptoms, most of them can be treated, regardless of MRIs. Just do your best to manage this disease. I'm glad you're going back on Copaxone.

What about you? This is our weekly round up of pending events that you might want to share.... please join in!

For more details on the surprise turn of events since November (never a hint of more than mono or chicken pox in my life), I have written a journal entry on my profile page. I'm not sure how active I'll be as my current issue is visual (and happily I'm getting a lot of direct advice from consultants and MS nurse specialists), but as I'm in the "choose your disease modifying treatment" stage of the game, I may have a few direct questions in that area.

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.

For all you Avonex users can you share on how long these lumps last after injection. When I used copaxone my nickname was lumpy. Their injections are daily so constantly stayed lumpy. I thought I would get a break with Avonex since it's weekly. The lumps are still there. My legs are actually sore. I don't know if ice or heat would help. I'm open for suggestions...... Thank you, Francyna.

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?
