Hello, I started copaxone 4 weeks ago, after the first week I started to get flu like symtons so I phoned my ms nurse who told me that she didn't think it was the copaxone and to carry on with it. After a couple of days the flu like symtons disappeared and I was left with big reaction sites and big lumps under the skin, I showed my ms nurse who said they were bigger then normal but yet again to continue. That night I took my injection and within seconds I couldn't breath, my heart was racing, had shakes all over, stomach cramps and face ears and throat swelled up so much, my partner phoned an ambulance, the ambulance man said that it was a servere reaction and discontinue use. I phoned my ms nurse this morning who said that I would appear to be allergic (what a genius) but then asked me to go to my doctors surgery to take them, is she serious like I would ever inject that into me again. Has anyone ever experienced these side effects before?
