I was advised to quit taking the shots and still almost a year latter I have those lumps and the dents never got better either. What a shame though I thought maybe this would be the shot that would help, and it did other that with the skin thing.

This condition in Copaxone users is a high-level side-effect that Teva, the drug maker, rarely mentions to potential users. It's called Lipoatrophy and in many cases it is there for life!!
The University of Ottawa MS Clinic studied several hundred Copaxone users a few years ago and found about 45% of them ended up with various levels of this condition. They went on to say that it was far too high a percentage for patients to be suffering from this and that more help should be provided to the patients by Teva, the manufacturer.
