Barb, that very reaction is why I decided to stop Copaxone. My last one was all you described plus I did have the IPIR as well. The last year on the stuff I was miserable. I'm trying Betaseron now.

S.S. nor my neurologist could never explain why the flu like symptoms. I kept asking if it could possibly be caused by the meds if they had been frozen. Mine were shipped with the ice packs directly against one side of the box and I always wondered if those syringes on that side were frozen.
