Hi and welcome to the forum,

I'm sorry for your recent diagnosis, but I guess at least you know now what you have.
I've been on Copaxone since late Sept and I haven't experience the symptoms that you describe.  I wonder if maybe it's related to something else?  
I get welts when I injected and a little bit of burning pain. After 6 mos of injecting I had the heart attack like symptom one evening from it.

Lisa, I am on Copaxone 10 months now and have never had a physical reaction other than site issues every now and again. You are right, copaxone is the dmd with the least amount of side effects.   And it's not known to interact negatively with other meds.

Have you read all the literature that comes with the medicine? Just thinking it may say it's possible to have what you describe as a side effect.  Back aches and muscle aches definately can be MS related. Not so much with the headaches.

I would check with your dr or call Shared Solutions or Perscription Solutions for further info.

This is a weird question, but I see you live in NY.  I live in ct.  Can i ask what the doctors found to diagnose you?  I have been having a he'll of a time getting a diagnosis and I used to live in hampton bays.

Would you be qble to send me the name of your neuro?
