Fatigue is worse...

[figuerpa]

Quick question for you all...Since I have started my Copaxone I have been extremely fatigued not sure if it is connected with the injection or if it is something different.

Yes, I have been busy lately with mom and everything that has been going on but this extreme fatigue didnt start until I started the Copaxone. Anyone else have this problem or is it just all in my head?

Thank you,
Paula

I wouldn't think the copaxone is related to your fatigue.  You have been pushing the scheudle with your mom and school and life in general.  Plus you had a serious delay in even starting a DMD and getting the dx of MS.  If the fatigue lingers, consider calling and see if you can get in to see the neuro sooner, ok?

JJ,

I googled it and it does come up quite often. I do know that everything that has been going on is playing a part in it but this fatigue is like nothing I have ever experienced.

I am going to talk to my neuro about it when I see him on the 28th, he wants to see how I am doing with the Copaxone,  so hopefully I will either be feeling better by then or maybe he can give me somehing.

Thank you,
Paula

Hey Paula

Copaxone data from shared solusions: COPAXONE® is not associated with flu-like symptoms (when compared to placebo) or treatment-related fatigue and depression—the kind of side effects that can interfere with daily activities.

Interesting though, if you google fatigue and copaxone the question is getting asked freguently enough to wonder. Unfortunately though, your activity level is considerably different at the moment, and thats a reasonable explanation all on its own. Its too hard to say if its nothing more than a coincidence or not, have you contacted your neuro or nurse about this yet? Not a bad idea to get it noted on your records.

Cheers......JJ
