I was on Copaxone for a while. Like Barb, I had way too many IPIRs and had to stop taking it. I am not on any DMD and am stable now.

One thing I did learn was to take a warm shower before you do the injection as that will help with the welt like reactions. Also, others have posted that taking ibuprofen or Tylenol an hour before the injection helps minimize or eliminates the reactions. It's worth a try.

I hope things get better for you as I do think Copaxone is a good drug and has really helped many.
