I was diagnosed last November and was in shock when the drugs were mentioned to me. My neurologist wasn't very friendly, at the time, and just told me they were once a week, every day or 3 times a week and gave me some info to read and videos.

I have now been taking Copaxone for almost 6 months and I can't say it gets any easier. I have skipped some days, just unable to face giving myself yet another needle. Sometimes I end up bruising really badly because my hand is shaking so much, or the stress headaches are so strong before the injection that I can barely see straight.

I don't know if Copaxone has helped me. I’m having a lot of cognitive issues, balance problems and daily headaches. I just don't really know if it's doing me any good but I'm too scared not to take it. I guess I’ll find out soon if it’s working because I have a six month MRI coming up at the end of the month.
