How are you doing on the Copaxone?  Are you adjusting any better?  Just was thinking of you and wanted to check in.  Angela

I'm on copaxone, too. I get huge welts and the site gets so itchy. But, that's it. Some more fatigue, but also no post injection reactions. My neuro says it's the least likely to cause reactions of any of them. I can't take a full dose, though. I manage between 1/2 and 3/4. Full causes a vasodilation effect. For me, I use warm pack a few minutes before the shot, then tried ice after but made welts larger so switched to warm again. The warm works better for me. I've been on it for a month now.

Glad it's going well.  So far, so good.  I guess I wasn't understanding.  Have you been without treatment for a while because of the disabling (for you) side effects?  Sometimes my blond hair gets in my way of comprehension....

I really am so dizzy today!

I seem to be doing alright.  One side effect that is a pain in the kester, is the burning at the injection site that can literally last for a couple of hours.  But hey I can deal with that.  The other DMD I was on, left me feeling like I had the flu for 4-5 days a week.

So I am okay...

Thanks for asking and caring...
