Cold Chills with Copaxone 40 mg

[nov23h2004]

Hello everyone. I'm new to this but needed to see if anyone has experienced this. I've been on Copaxone for about 6 mths. About a mth ago I experienced cold chills about an hour after my injection. They started pretty mild but as time went on got very intense. I couldn't stop trembling and lasted about 2-3 hrs. I emailed my neuro and he said these symptoms were normal. Well last night I has my injection and I just felt different. I had the same feeling from mth ago when I had the chills. Well about an hr it started. I was really cold and remembered to stay calm. It happened just like the first time and it just freaked me out. Has anyone else experienced this? I know MS can just creep up on you but I'm just tired of feeling like this. I'm hoping I can relate to someone and just get some answers from someone who is actually going through this.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the response. I was originally on Rebif myself but Neuro decided to switch me due to new lesions. Thanks for the encouraging words.

Hi, I'm sorry, but I can't help with your question, as I've never taken Copaxone.  I'm on Rebif now, but started therapy with Avonex several years ago.  When I first started the Avonex, the warning was that you could get "flu'like" symptoms, with fever and chills, but that they would get better in time.  With the first injection, I had them all, but the reassurance about getting better in time was on the mark, so I hope that the same is true for you.  As your neurologist is aware of this, the best answer might just be to be patient.
I hope that non-answer helps!
