I just talked to my neuro and he thinks that this reaction combined with the IPIR's I experienced the last time with the shakes and chills equals an allergic reaction. He is calling Teva to see what they think. He mentioned trying a 1/2 dose with benadryl, but then seemed to change his mind. He then mentioned filling out a report for the FDA.

I am so tired of making these decisions on my own so I asked him what I should do. He also had mentioned imuran or something similar at one point. He is now recommending no treatment as long as I remain stable in hopes that an oral med comes on the market in the next two years. He said that imuran/similar drugs could also increase your chances of a viral infection/PML and could disqualify me from an oral med in the future.

He is also going to give my name and phone number to MS Society so they can contact me for someone that can use the copaxone.
